Description | MPC (Musepack) is a kind of audio compression format, which uses a compression pattern based on MPEG-1 Layer-2 and MPEG-2 algorithms and is optimized for variable medium high bitrates not exceeding 48khz. Bitrates vary according to the complexity of audio data. These parameters ensure effective compression with little detriment to sound quality. Although Musepack does show better sound quality than MP3, it is still not so popular because few audio players support it. |

Description | MP3 is the most popular audio file type based on MPEG-1 Layer III compression. Its lossy algorithm was developed in 1991. MP3 codes the sound almost with the same quality, as CD (16-bit stereo), providing compression in size 1 to 10 from the original WAF or AIFF tracks. The quality of MP3 seriously depends on the bitrate. It can be 128 - 256 kbps. Higher bitrates are also supported, but they seriously increase the file size. It is supported by all modern hard- and software players. |
