The duration of software patents is completely absurd and in a just society would immediately be halved. That said, at any possible point I have totally ditched this ancient technology in favor of the vastly superior Opus.
Edit: just noticed this was published in 2017, which makes much more sense with my understanding of when mp3 was developed.
"Halved?" No. There should not be software patents. They are good for nothing.
You can theoretically extend that logic to any patent. However this only works in a world that's not profit-centric.
I would totally switch to OPUS as soon as it supports embedding album art.
What's the use case for that? Would mkv solve your need?

Well damn! That's great!
Iirc that's an issue with ffmpeg. Opus itself can do that. I also stumbled upon that once.
