Test files to determine if one can determine which is a transcode.

The following two files, inside the ZIP, are excerpts from Orbital's "The Box - Part II" track from their 1996 album "In Sides".


One is a LAME 3.98.4 320kbps CBR MP3 encode from the lossless WAV source.

The other is a LAME 3.98.4 320kbps CBR MP3 transcode taken by re-encoding the first after decoding to another WAV.


Can you tell which is which other than by listening (even if that's possible)?
