I'll admit that I have switched to just using my
Android phone for
'offline music play' and I also use it for practice (e.g. I load
tracks to play along with bass).
The advantage is that now Android plays opus which I currently use as
a preferred lossy format.
It is worth noting that while various proprietary systems take a dim
view on Opus _files_ (which pack the encoded data in Ogg containers),
they do generally support the Opus _Codec_.
So creating a WEBM file without video track and with Opus-encoded audio
track tends to work on a lot more devices than a "proper" Opus file,
taking up very much the same file space.
