I just noticed in the polls that more people use mpc than mp3!

Bearing in mind that I know nothing about mpc, could anyone explain the benefits over mp3?

I use alt-preset extreme... does anyone recommend I upgrade to mpc?

For me, its like a race, you compare lap times of race 1 to the one in race 20, and see that racer X, of race 20, had a better time than racer H on race 1, so racer 20 gets the "record lap". But:

1) Diferent racers
2) Diferent cars
3) Diferent climate

Still nobody argues about it. As roberto said (ups, we agree once more), you can compare, if you want to be picky, you probably would find some statistic problem, as with everything done in life. I can argue that you must do 100% of the world population, or the test have no meaning.

People subjetivelly heard some samples, and decided to give MPC 4.47, against the originals. Then another group of people did the same, and give 4.74 to iTunes AAC, again, against the originals.

EDIT: If both groups where statistical representations of the universe, universe = universe, so we can assume the same group did the test.
