Since there are many audio formats, relying on MP3 bitrate only is foolish.

I wanted to have this feature earlier, but due to the diversity of the formats it would be hard to implement.

You should still add .mpc, however, if you get the time. And since foobar developers have dropped official ape support due to stability issues/lack of development on the original lib, that can be safely omitted.
On the other hand foo_shn is coming along nicely.
