Doesn't telling everyone where the artifacts are kinda defeat the point of a listening test?

The whole procedure of a listening test kind of defeats itself if you think like this. Training yourself to hear artifacts also shouldn't be done then, because you then might recognize new artifacts you missed before, which would change the notation of the codecs. I think the important thing is whether you can hear artifacts are not. Without knowing what to listen for and preferably also in which parts of the music, I am pretty sure practically everybody would have to rate all codecs as 5.0 in this test.

Well, specifying the exact position and sample where an artifact is noticable is a bit unfair IMHO. -------------------- http://listening-tests.hydrogenaudio.org/sebastian/
