Convert MPC to WAV

Understanding mpc and wav file formats

MPC (Musepack) is a lossy audio compression format designed for high-quality audio at lower bitrates. It is popular among audiophiles for its efficient compression and sound quality, but it is less widely supported than other formats.

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is an uncompressed audio format developed by Microsoft and IBM. It stores audio in a raw, lossless form, making it ideal for editing, archiving, and professional audio applications.
