  • iTunes AAC 6.0.1.3
  • LAME 3.97 Beta 2
  • Ogg Vorbis AoTuV 4.51 Beta

Update: The test was extended to end on January 13th, 2006.

Thank you!

It has already been requested twice that people stop discussing their experience of the listening test itself while the still is still being carried out.

Please respect that, otherwise it is likely that this thread will be closed so as to maintain test integrity.

Really, until the test is finished, the only things that should be discussed in this thread, in my opinion (Sebastian can add something here if he doesn't agree), are metaissues such as discussion about obtaining or distributing the files, announcing the test at other places, or discussion about problems with the abc/hr program.

If you can't hear any differences, fine. That is just as useful of a result for the purposes of the test. Please don't ask other people to tell you if they hear differences or to describe their testing experience.

By the way, if Sebastian requests it, I will remove previous posts discussing any of this from the current thread.

I found an issue with the delivered ABC/HR program :

DISCLAIMER - DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE PERFORMING THE OPEN TEST - IT MAY INFLUENCE YOUR RESULTS.

PM me for details.

Make sure you're using JRE v1.5. If you haven't upgraded, clicks in the sound is an issue which is already known. Perhaps there should have been a warning or something when abc/hr falls back on older JRE... well well...
