In the same way the VHS was not much higher than that of Betamax, but became the standard because the porn industry pushing, MP3, AAC and similar formats have become less known and widely used due to, respectively, Napster and Apple pushing.
However, there are many draw backs to many formats popular – especially the reduction of sound quality. Here I will try to present a superior alternative, but less known – the MPC-format.
As so other important things in life I first heard of MPC in a bar.
I was talking about the merits of digital audio vinyl VS, and although the guy who I was talking to admit that sometimes you just feel like putting on vinyl record to listen to an MP3, a point was made that there was a better format – MPC.
MPC is also known as Musepack and in essence is simply an audio format that does not require extensive memory and resources, such as FLAC, but still offers a superior sound quality compared with, for example, MP3 …
MPC algorithms optimized for working with an experience "no loss" and hearing tests have shown that the differences between a wave file and a (much smaller) MPC file are virtually inaudible.
With the MPC does not experience the features upset special digital sound formats – That the way hi-hats sound and distorts the music as if it played too loud for the speakers, no matter I keep the volume low.
Musepack is optimized for bit rates of 160-180kb in the area, but it has been going very well in listening tests, also in the bit rate of 128 kb.
