About MPC
Andree Buschmann started Musepack in 1997, building on MP2. Through the 2000s, audiophile forums praised it as one of the best sounding lossy formats at around 170 kbps.
Musepack is lossy like MP3, but always uses a variable bitrate, spending more bits where the music needs them. Files come as SV7 or the newer SV8, and APE tags carry the title, artist and album.
No browser plays Musepack by itself. Filepeek decodes both versions with FFmpeg inside your browser, and Export saves an MP3 or WAV that plays anywhere.
