Looks impressive as you install it, but doesn't deliver the goods, at least on my system. For instance, with the K-Lite pack, AAC+ streams will play in both WMP and MPC; but with this pack, they won't play in either, in fact WMP crashes.

They did a good job here. It isn't just another codec pack... it seems that the creators actually knew what they are doing. Anyway, I wish they'll give specific information about the *versions* of the decoders used... and continue to develop this Pack.
