Would an encrypted backup using something like Crytomator or Rsync fit your needs? It would allow you to use the cheaper cloud services without letting them see the content of your files.

Proton Drive is another good option.

DolphinMath,

You really should have read the wiki before asking that question. /s

DolphinMath,

Installing VLC on your iPhone is probably the easiest solution. It should play the Opus files without any transcoding needed.

DolphinMath,

If you really need to convert the files to something like AAC for native iPhone playback, I would suggest either fre:ac (audio only) or MKVToolnix (video and audio).

I’ll have to check it out. If you want to listen to Audiobooks specifically, I will say that the Open Source app BookPlayer has been fantastic for me.

DolphinMath,

AAC is higher quality for the same compression level and generally preferred by Apple. MP3 should be fine too though.

EDIT: To be clear though, the programs I listed can handle all kinds of codecs including AAC and MP3. fre:ac is also good for ripping CDs if you’re into that sort of thing.

DolphinMath,

Oh dang, you’re right. I used to use StaxRip back when I was doing more encoding and then finish with MKVToolNix, but I think the gui is Windows only.

Probably should have recommended Handbrake.

DolphinMath,

it also assumes that one person’s results on Google are the same as another’s. Sadly with the enshittification of the internet, we can’t take it for granted anymore.
