Building MPC support

Thanks, I didn't know about that plugin. Still, one (alpha) plugin for one application doesn't make WavPack widely supported under linux. I only use xmms for previewing songs from online stores, for the rest I use Quod Libet. So it's still not an option for me.

I discarded Musepack too for the same reason until I found Quod Libet, which not only features gapless playback (which is quite rare), but also very good support for MPC.

Wow, the feature list of Quod Libet looks quite impressive: replaygain support, gapless playback, full unicode support, etc...

I really have to check out this player when I find some time...
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

I wouldn't consider that plugin alpha anymore, since all known issues have been fixed. I would call it beta at worst, due to lack of some features.

Also, it's worth mentioning there seems to exist a [a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300412]GStreamer[/url] plugin for WavPack as well. That might not count as widespread support under Linux, but should be enough for the vast majority of users.

For all that it matters, I couldn't find a TTA plugin for Quod Libet either. So, in that aspect, both WavPack and TTA are on par with each other.

Speaking of players, for those running *nix, mpd (http://musicpd.org/) is really worth checking, imo.
All the goodies, like rg, tags, gapless playback, alsa ao... It runs daemonized and controllabe via bunch of clients locally or remotely.
Musepack support will be in next release, it's already there though in svn/newer snapshot (http://musicpd.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=605)

Off topic question: Have you heard Rush in Rio? If you're a Rush fan at all, you should. I only mention it because it was recorded in Rio. The crowd there was incredible.

Nope.

I like Rush a lot, but Rio is not a good place to be. At all. Crime there got completely out of hand (what the news show is only a fraction of what really happens), and these shows attract lots of pickpocketers (sometimes even flash-kidnappers) that are usually waiting for you at the exit.

The only time I traveled away from my town to watch a show was to watch Roger Waters. It wasn't in Rio, but even if it was, I would go anyway.
