Musepack is still as good as mp3 if not better and on par with modern codecs and vorbis and aac so why does no one talk about it? I was murking around the forum wiki and found out musepack was opensource which is a big plus for me... and older abx tests have it on par with aotuv or lame so why no talk? is it becuase of slow development? I think this is unfair if the codec is already so good no more tuning is needed..... any reason why people don't use mpc anymore other then compatibility? (converting from lossless to another format isn't too trivial... lol....)

Musepack didn't interest me until yesterday. After hearing a MPC-song I instantly fell in love with the format. The quality of a q5-file is absolutely great! My Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ is now playing MPC-files all day long :-) ...
Ain't there something we can do to give Musepack the world wide attention it deserves? This post has been edited by String Theory: May 19 2010, 12:25 -------------------- The future is lossless!

After hearing a MPC-song I instantly fell in love with the format. The quality of a q5-file is absolutely great! Sounds like the placebo effect to me. I mean the complete package... the audio quality is awesome and it encodes so bloody fast. MP3 / AAC / WMA / OGG can't beat that. -------------------- The future is lossless!
