    haha, ah well, i didn't hear a MASSIVE difference. i think if the music had more highs on it i would have been able to tell instantly. all i heard was some frequencies were getting masked...no wonder i could never master my tracks heh! another thing, it didn't ruin my listening experience. i can admire a picture of art from afar i don't need to be super close to see it. (what the **** am i on abooot...)

    be interesting to try the 320 vs flac or wav test, reckon massplacnk is gonna fail ;)

    Either way, it's probably Radiohead's fault. ;)
    what was radiohead's fault?

    maybe your efforts were met with silence because people find you generally very tedious and lacking in charisma.

    tbf, someone who spends their spare time putting loops together to play on an internet forum is more than likely a cockless wonder with no social life.

    What's your excuse?

    *YAWN* Yeah, it could be that. Or, it might have something to do with the fact that, after commuting 209km for work each day, on Monday through Friday I'm pretty much home at night. :) Either way, for a so-called "producer" to give another crap about that is pretty comical.

    silence....

    seems people are only prepared to do a test where their eyes only see the results

    The Wav would be probably to big to play/download I guess.

    just a small clip. worth a go i reckon. the page would load all the clips up first obviously so you wouldnt know which one took longer.

    I think you're all missing the point. This song is used to scare badgers, but seeing as badgers can only hear at a bit rate of 128 number 2 is teh gay.

    Oh yeah, you're ma's.

    test via doa

    Done something similar for a module for uni, so I'll quickly whack it up here.

    I ripped a track from a CD (in this case, Fanu - Salam from Daylightless) into a wav, then exported 5 second-sections at different bitrates. On the clip I've done, there is;

    5 seconds of Wav 44k/16bit
    5 seconds of 320 mp3
    5 seconds of 192 mp3
    5 seconds of 128mp3

    Not in that order. See if you can work out which is which


    For the record, I done this for a number of different songs in different genres and eras. My own take is that mixdown/mastering can make a massive difference to the quality of the Encoded MP3. There are, in my opinion, too many variables involved to make any sweeping statements.

    File located here. http://files.filefront.com/FanuTest...;/fileinfo.html

    Have fun!

    EDIT - 16bit, not 24 bit

    i sent a pm to the guy with my answers and got it 100%!! i asked him what results he got from uni

    Wotcha mate,

    You got it spot on. From the group at uni, only a few could pinpot exactly what bitrate, about most could tell there was a change in quality, a few couldn't tell any difference at all.

    We found that some tunes translated nicely to 192k, some of them sounded awful, so mixdown and mastering probably plays a part in it. Different encoders brought different results too, so there's alot that can affect quality.

    Nice one for getting it 100% right though. Clearly got the golden ears!
    come on then, any of you ****s gonna match me?? post up your answers and i'll post up the correct ones after a bit.
