Wavpack 4 On Mac Osx

I searched, but didn't saw any mention except on rarewares.org portal. Kuniklo has compiled a WavPack 4 encoder/decoder working on MacOS X system.

Hope it will help to raise the popularity of this modern lossless format
Wavpack Hybrid: one encoder for all scenarios
WavPack -c4.5hx6 (44100Hz & 48000Hz) ≈ 390 kbps + correction file
WavPack -c4hx6 (96000Hz) ≈ 800 kbps + correction file
WavPack -h (SACD & DSD) ≈ 2400 kbps at 2.8224 MHz

Hehe, thanks for mentioning it here. I intended to do so earlier, but got caught on some urgent work.

On the same website:

>> MPC bundle for MacOS X    2003-11-25
>> Contains mppenc (encoder) and mppdec (decoder). by Dibrom.

But it's only "decodable". I don't know if any player supports mpc format.

My player-in-development, Xist, supports both MPC and WV.  It's pretty bare bones but it works.  You can get it from here:

XMMS *technically* can play MPC on OS X (under X11), but getting it to work properly is a real bitch. I never succeeded, anyway....in the end, it was less work just to transocde my handful of MPC's to FLAC and be done with it.

Thanks again, kuniklo, for your work! Improved support for wavpack and MPC on OS X are most welcome developments.
