Those who've been testing the MPC plugin (Xstatic, cmagic) already know of its existance and what's planned, but I thought I'd let everyone else know. If you use MJ and MPC, you may want to download it. It's built against the latest Winamp plugin (0.90k) and supports tagging (both ID3 and APE) and file information. You can get the latest version at http://www.naivesoftware.com
I currently plan to add support for the following:
1. Media Jukebox's internal replay gain.
2. A way to choose how you want the tag to be saved (I'm working on this right now).
3. Using the MJ architecture for playback instead of the Winamp architecture (read: removing Winamp crap
)I told Xstatic and cmagic that I'd be basing the plugin off of the mppdec 0.98 source code, well... that's not going to happen. Frank's source code is very hard to follow (there's literally 2832837383 global variables) and a lot of it is in German. I've pretty much figured out how the Winamp plugin does its work, so I'm going to adapt the decoding engine from the Winamp source. Eventually, I may base the plugin from the mppdec source... but not at the moment
Finally, I'd like to thank Xstatic and cmagic for testing out the plugin and offering their support; and Matt for helping me with MJ issues. Thanks guys!

Thanks a lot Mike, We have been waiting for that to happend for a long time, because MPC is the only major format which is still played by winamp 2 plug-in.
Keep up a good work.
