Can it be done, (just like the ogg vorbis codec made for win.mediaplayer). It will for sure make the MPC format more used. Is the work in progress...

But, Media Player Classic is amazing. An MPC filter would be great for MPC.

Not to mention the Matroska/OGM consequences of such a filter.

What are they? The ability to put the mpc audio stream into an ogg/matroska container?

My eksample.:
A year ago I bought DRS2006, who uses the filter's in wmp. It just "kills" me not to be able to play the best there is - MPC. The sound is amazing...

But perhaps one day

And you're right: Media Player Classic is amazing.

BTW, I've never heard anything about an MPC plugin for WMP. AFAIK, the only ways to listen to MPC tracks are either Winamp (with plugins) or foobar2000.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think you are confusing.
MPC doesn't stand here for Media Player Classic, the video player that look like Windows Media Player 7 (but is better).
MPC is an audio codec (formerly MPP or MP+).
MPC has different meaning whether you are @HA or @doom9... ;)

It was a pun... -_-;;;

MPC filter for MPC... get it? ._.

(Media Player Classic uses DirectShow for rendering files.)
