Hi Dr. M
I have followed your guide and created the following configuration , with minor tweaks for stereo/5.1 audio playback on MPC-HC .
ffdshow decoder configuration registry file :[url]https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0VPdRXBFmzqWE9vUnBsT2YyczA/edit?usp=sharing[/url]
Requesting a small review of the settings, if the restored MP3 audio is close to original CD quality.
You are most welcome to provide any tweaks.
