Dial-Up Audio Public Listening Test Opened

Posted by simoniker on from the cha-cha-crackle dept.

CaptainCheese writes "Hydrogenaudio.org's Roberto Amorim just announced the opening of their 32kps multi-format listening test, intended to test the current 'dial-up' quality codecs. From the Announcement: "The formats featured are Nero Digital Audio (HE-AAC+PS), Ogg Vorbis, WMA9 Std., MP3pro, Real Audio and QDesign Music Codec. Lame MP3 is being used as low anchor, and a lowpass at 7kHz is being used as high anchor." These codec tests are unusual in that they adhere to ITU-R BS.1116-1. The test is open until July 11th and all are invited to participate. There's more info in the original test discussion, which indicates the originator is interested in 'testing formats working on dial-up streaming bitrates' - the test page notes: 'The real arena where codecs are competing, and most development is going, is at low bitrates.'"

    Kimbery saw Trini one day coming out of the Sex Toys, inc. shop one day and said "I want to have teh hot anal gurl sex with u" and Trini said "Ok" and Kimberly dragged Trini into the bushes and whipped out her 13-inch gurl penis and proceeded to buttfuck Trini until Trini said "Oh God, Kimberly", then Kimberly put her huge thing into Trini's pussy and it was so big Trini's stomach bulged from the pressure and them Kimberly said "Oh God, Trini", and then pumped 26 gallons of girl sperm into Trini and then Trini got pregnant and gave birth to Metallica's Lars Ulrich and died.

    THE END

    In case you're wondering, the parent poster (OverlordQ) is a confirmed troll who accidentally revealed his identity in a recent page-widening post. Not only that, but when confronted with the evidence, he didn't even have the stones to admit he'd been caught red-handed. So sad.
