Terse reply i know but everyone wants stuff for free and those people who can code/do this won't unless there's a respectible amount of money coming for it now since i see nothing from OSS people to make a better plugin.-dazThanks for your quick answer.Be sure that if I had the skills I'd gladly have done this long ago. And by a quick look at my website you'd see that I contributed freely and openly to several projects (that required low-level skills ), but here I feel stuck.Please also note that, after years of happily using the free version (and recommending it to family & friends), I've been considering to buy the pro version as a way of showing my apreciation. The only thing that help my clicks: the fact that my main codec isn't properly supported.So: a pity, really.

That nobody has time to work on an input plug-in for a dead format? A format, which probably never will see any hardware support?Well, if this is the required main codec for you, then all I can say is, that I'm sorry.LAME already provides great lossy compression with good quality, most hardware supports MP3.

Alternatives are there too, Ogg Vorbis is a free, open codec, which is for game developers etc the better choice.I'm not even sure if it's even worth to bundle an updated version of this plug-in in the Essentials pack, because of it's popularity.MPC was an interesting format for a couple of years, with interesting features, but now it's just an unimportant dead codec. Havn't seen any mpc file for many years now. Quote: Originally posted by mllI don't want to start yet another argument on the death of MPC.2 facts:1. Most of my library is in MPC - don't intend to rerip anything anytime soon.2.

I do listen to my MPC files on my rockboxed DAP.OK.Me & Koopatrooper don't want to argue with you.You should wait for the official final release.I never trust unofficial plugs, specially for Winamp.Or convert all your files to MP3. (I bet you will in future)I think Lossy WavPack is the best lossy format, but without hardware support, it's nothing.

Quote: Originally posted by KoopatrooperYeah, but from a dev point of view, just updating plug-ins for popular formats make sense.And I must repeat it again, usually it's up to the MPC devs to provide input plugins for the most popular players. Other devs like FLAC or WavePack devs did this.Yes, exactly.But FLAC devs don't develop any plugs for any software.Only David Bryant developed WavPack plugs for popular software like: Winamp, Audition, Nero.Oh, it's the fight between the Nullsoft & MPC devs.forum.musepack.net/showthread.php?p=1546#post1546. I still don't get, why the MPC devs won't create their own Winamp plugin.FLAC author made his own plugin in the past, WavPack dev still makes his own Winamp plugin as well as the dev of Monkey's Audio.Just Musepack needs a Nullsoft plugin.I can repeat, what I've already said before, if you want to spread your own format, you have to create input plugins for the most popular players. Hello all,I found this thread after googling for winamp/mpc support - I recently came across some files which would not play in winamp (they simply stuck on 0:00 for about 5 seconds then went to the next track), and only by opening one such file in a hex editor, and finding a reference to 'musepack.net' did I work out what filetype they actually were (extension was.mp3).My question is, does WinAMP/Nullsoft have any plans on including format detection in the program? Something along the lines of 'This file appears to be in the 'MPC/MusePack' format, would you like to download the relevant plugin from WinAMP.com, Yes/No'?It just seems that for those formats which lend themselves to easy format identification by a player (I can't think of any that don't have obvious defining headers), this would increase the user-friendliness of WinAMP and aid confidence, less of the 'this other program plays it fine but WA just croaks', if you get thatJust a thought!P.S: Been a Winamp fan since the early days, I even use it on Mandriva and Ubuntu.
