The MPC file extension, standing for MPC, is a compressed audio file format developed and perfected by the software company Musepack (formerly known as MPC) GmbH. A Musepack-compressed audio file has a very high degree of audio quality, and typically compresses up to an impressive 40% or more. It allows the user to play back sound with an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, even at low bitrates.
Record and Edit Audio with MPC Files
The MPC files are capable of storing both lossy and lossless digital audio information. Depending on the complexity and type of sound being recorded, users can encode their recordings in the form of 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit resolutions. MusePack additionally supports sampling rates of 8 KHz to 192 KHz. These features make it a great choice for editing files from music production applications. It can also be used to store data from other programs such as Voice Recorder Pro or CyberLink PowerDirector.
Playback Compressed Audio with MPC Files
Musepack files can be recognized by music playing software on most desktop and handheld devices. The iOS application supporting it includes ittunes and some music streaming apps, while Windows supports Winamp, Microsoft Windows Media Player, foobar2000. Even the free MusicBee software can play such files. MPC, yet is not supported by web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, or Opera without additional codecs installed. Other similar formats include .aac, .mp3, .wma, and .ogg.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MPC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .MPC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .MPC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .MPC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .MPC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MPC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MPC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .MPC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MPC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MPC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
