MPC Audio Decoder (previously MPA Decoder)

MPA Decoder is a simple codec that helps you decode MPA files which are a part of MPEG-2 format and does not contain any video source, making it more common among web users.

You can install MPA Decoder by following the same installation steps recommended for AX codecs or for DLL files. The complete steps on how to install these types of files can be found on the web.

Decoding MPA files may come in handy for users that need to reduce the download times for sounds as the audio’s file size is reduced, resulting in higher download speeds or batch downloads.

The codec is supposed to work with a large number of media players, some already established (Media Player Classic, BS player, Freemake, KMPlayer, etc.) and some that are less known (Fraunhofer, AVS Media Player, etc). The whole list with supported players can be found on the developer’s website, for reference.

To sum it up, MPA Decoder is a lightweight codec that lets you process MPA files in no time. It requires you to follow the exact installation steps in order for it to properly function and it works with a lot of known and less known media players.
