New MPC Decoding Library And Updated Homepage

Dcoder writes "The MPC codec has finally completed its transition to the open source world by making Musepack.net its new official home, featuring a complete collection of tools, plug-ins and codec binaries (Linux, Win32 and Mac OS X) and the sourcecode to the complete SV7-1.15r codec source. Additionally, Peter Pawlowski has recently completed his work on an LGPL-licensed portable mpcdec library, which comes with floating and fixed-point math modes and performs at around 10x realtime on a Intel XScale 400Mhz and is even fast enough to bring MPC decoding to slower ARM chips like the iPod's ARMv4. Musepack's outstanding quality has been proven only recently by a public listening test."

    There's no way I'm gona recode my music again! ;)

    First time I did it in mp3, later in vorbis. So there's no way I'm gonna do it again. Besides, there are vorbis hardware players on the market, which can't be said about MPC.
