2nd Multi-Format 128kbps Public Listening Test

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the music-to-one's-ears dept.

technology is sexy writes "Roberto Amorim has launched his latest public listening test evaluating the performance of different audio codecs at 128kbps, among them Apple's AAC implementation (used in iTunes), LAME, Ogg Vorbis fork auTuV, WMA, Musepack and even Sony's Atrac3 format, which is soon to be used in their own music store. Read more on Hydrogenaudio and check out the results of prior tests. As opposed to most evaluations of audio codecs, this is a scientific test adhering to ITU-R BS.1116-1 as much as possible while still allowing everybody to participate."

      I wish there was a filter that scored any post with the words "You're new here, aren't you?" -5 stupid joke.

      I, for one, would welcome our new filter overlords.
