It will be interesting to see how things pan out for MPC, after the principal developer seems to have given up. :(

I went from a geezer to an old man... Perhaps at 1000 posts I'll be a Young Lad. Or maybe a Young Twig. :)

Nah. I'll probably be the Prime Minister at 200 posts. :D

I keep wondering, too. I'll definately post something if it ever is possible.

I think The Don is a reference to The Godfather (the Mafia chief, not the software program).

It is. But it didn't used to say "The" before and I've only seen parts of The Godfather.

Was it ever alive? I have long predicted that proprietary formats were not the wave of the future. Time has a way of proving things out...

I don't think MPC was ever popular enough except among the hardcore audiophile codec people. I quite like it myself, but the fact that it is nowhere near as popular as MP3 means there's no hardware support for it. It's a shame, since it's clearly superior to MP3 for sound quality. I think MP3 will stay on top for a while, with AAC gaining ground.

Man, sure a lot of off-topic posts at this forum.
