an opus file encoded with Lavf58.18.104 is not editable with mp3tag, but with foobar and tagscanner.

Does this thread help?

> Hello, Now that [Opus](http://opus-codec.org/) is a standardized Web audio format, the possibility to edit Vorbis comments in Opus files with MP3tag would be very much appreciated. Cheers!

it helps to rename the file to opus (instead of ogg), as the last post of that thread suggested. but how should other/novice users know that workaround? can mp3tag not identify the filecontent?
foobar will play anything anyways. in android some players wont play opus files. others will show but not play false ogg.
wouldnt it be helpfull if a popup info in mp3tag came up and said something like "this file has an improper ending. it is opus instead of ogg."?

I'm aware of the situation and commented on this issue before

> You're correct and this is exactly why it's not the same as renaming mp3 to flac. Mp3tag doesn't support codec detection inside Ogg containers currently and assumes Vorbis by default. It's on my list, but for the time being, Opus needs to come with the \*.opus file extension to be usable inside Mp3tag.

I've added support for detecting Opus inside \*.ogg files with [Mp3tag v2.95a](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455).

🙃 thanx a lot, also for adding the other changes. i can confirm the usability off tagging opus material in ogg files. is it just me: i cannot export the configuration in \*.csv?
