Thats only one possible way of using it, for different channels ina=20
multichannel file, but i was thinking about using lossless also for very=20
complex passages, like a fortissimo in orchestral music or explosions=20
etc. in movie soundtracks.

Wavpack4 will allow that for every block of data according to David=20
Bryant, so we should be able to do the same in MPC IMHO.

:O ..... ehehehe, i was hoping for that to happen, some high quality=20
technical talking on the ML. I wonder if Frank is capable to NOT comment=20
on this :D :D !!! But please dont expect me to understand what you are=20
