This package contains the Musepack Stream Version 8 command line tools for Windows. SV8 supercedes SV7 and is preferable for any task (see details). While SV8 outperforms SV7, it's not yet as widely supported, as it was recently released. If you have SV7 files, make sure your application/s supports the new version before converting to SV8 and deleting SV7 files.

mpcenc 1.30.0 - the encoder converts WAV or lossless files to MPC files.

mpcdec 1.0.0 - the decoder converts MPC files to WAV or checks files for stream errors.

mpcgain 0.9.3 - the ReplayGain calculator adds ReplayGain info to MPC files.

mpcchap 0.9.0 - SV8 chapter editor embeds chapters into MPC files using info in chapter or cue files.

mpccut 0.9.0 - SV8 stream cutter losslessly cuts stream segments based on selected start/end samples.

mpc2sv8 1.0.0 - Musepack SV7 to SV8 converter losslessly converts MPC files encoded by an SV7 encoder.

Musepack is an audio compression format with a strong emphasis on high quality.

It's not lossless, but it is designed for transparency, so that you won't be able to hear differences between the original wave file and the much smaller MPC file.

It is based on the MPEG-1 Layer-2 / MP2 algorithms, but has rapidly developed and vastly improved and is now at an advanced stage in which it contains heavily optimized and patentless code.

MusePack is currently the preferred format for audiophiles and strongly recommended for everyone.

Try to use also MPC Batch Encoder. A Windows frontend for the MusePack encoder and decoder, for Tag and for ReplayGain.
