I still use an iPod with Rockbox firmware as my everyday music player so I also still need mp3s :3


All iPods supported AAC and I imagine alternative firmware adds opus support, so you can just grab the original audio files from YouTube instead of converting them to MP3.


RockBox added OPUS support ages ago. Absolutely no need to perform lossy-to-lossy conversion when you can just grab and use the opus stream.


I installed Rockbox on iPod specifically to play Opus.
