MPC File Complications

Troubles Opening MPC Files

VLC Media Player Isn't There

Double-clicking your MPC file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open MPC File". Customarily, this means that VLC Media Player is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your MPC file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: If you don't have VLC Media Player installed, and you know of another program to open your MPC file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Wrong Version of VLC Media Player is Installed

In other instances, your Musepack Compressed Audio File file version may not be supported by your version of VLC Media Player. If you do not have the proper version VLC Media Player (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: Investigate your MPC file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of MPC file opening issues are due to not having the correct VLC Media Player version installed.
