Mastroska as a general audio-container - useable? Options

[Guest_schlauf_*]

Hi there,

I've been thinking about using Matroska as a general audio-container solution in oder to display stuff like lyrics, in-depth information and more about my music.

AFAIK there are no software muxing applications that allow for a comfortable editing and final mastering of a .mka-file, right? The only file I was able to grab was AVIMux-GUI, and it did not a good job in muxing SRT-files (as a lyrics solution) and, say, an MP3-file.

So, what is recommended to use in order to include different audio files (MPC, Vorbis, MP3, FLAC) in an .mka-container, preferably with lyrics, common tags and, eventually, more information such as covers ... ?

Thanks

Yeah, indeed I was totally wrong about FLAC.
And we are all waiting for MPC in Matroska now

I was going to PM Christian about mpc, but this thread seems as appropriate a place. What's the next step, then? Are we waiting on Frank to do his magic, or are there things we could do now?

And regarding the usefulness of matroska as a container right now, i'm thinking of testing the format with my mp3s (only about 500, most are musepack). Am I right in assuming I can take a whole mp3 album, remux it into 1 matroska file, with art etc, the result of which I can play this 1 file album in foobar?
