Musepack

Musepack or MPC is an open source lossy audio codec, specifically optimized for transparent compression of stereo audio at bitrates of 160–180 (manual set allows bitrates up to 320) kbit/s. It was formerly known as MPEGplus, MPEG+ or MP+.

Development of MPC was initiated in 1997 by Andree Buschmann and later assumed by Frank Klemm, and as of 2011 is maintained by the Musepack Development Team (MDT) with assistance from Buschmann and Klemm. Encoders and decoders are available for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, and plugins for several third-party media players available from the Musepack website, licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) or BSD licenses, and an extensive list of programs supporting the format.

Technical details

Musepack was developed using the MP2 codec as a starting point, but many features have since been added, including:

  • subband selectable M/S encoding (as in AAC)
  • Huffman coding (as in MP3 and AAC, but more efficient). Since SV8 the bitstream is compressed by highly optimized canonical huffman tables that yields 2% smaller files and faster decoding

    See Through

    by: Diana Anaid

    I don't mind if I turn people on, but
    I don't really care if I turn them off, because
    Being me, was never enough to please, everyone
    Do I confuse others with the way I appear am
    I confronting them with something they don't want to hear
    They see me and in their minds they try and put me in a box but,
    Well I never really liked things with labels on the top
    I'm not following orders, and I won't stand against a wall
    So you can shake me down, where I don't like it at all
    When it's what's inside that makes the difference so you
    Should take a look before you make your judgements
    It doesn't really mean to me, what it means to you the way
    I look is just that; something you can see through
    So if I confuse you with what I say maybe that's just the
    Way you deal with the unexplained
    And I'm not making statements, or setting any trends
    And this isn't where the shocking's gonna start or end
    So if I'm upsetting you, maybe you should leave
