Today we have a chance to see the performance of well known AAC encoders like Nero, Apple and Coding Technologies (previous versions of Winamp).
Also Fraunhofer have released their totally new AAC encoder. The following codecs are presented in this test: Nero 1.5.4 Apple QuickTime 7.6.9 true VBR Apple QuickTime 7.6.9 constrained VBR Fraunhofer (Winamp 5.62) Coding Technologies (Winamp 5.61) ffmpeg's AAC (low anchor) The homepage of the test: Public AAC Listening Test @ ~96 kbps [July 2011] There are 20 samples. Please, don't hurry. Take your time as there will be enough of it. It's better to do fewer samples per day and avoid a fatigue. The test will be open during 10 days (until July 27) As always every single result is helpful. Have a good time testing it!

Hello. I am trying to participate. I downloaded the sample pack above and used the decode all bat file. I can't get abc/hr to play anything yet.
Can someone point me to a tutorial? I see a training mode but I don't really know what I'm doing. Edit Ok I checked out ff123 page. I have opened the config file for sample 1 after running decode all as well as decode sample 1 bat files. there are 6 wav files in the directory and they all play in winamp OK. The main abc/hr page is blank with no samples selected or able to be played. I have tried to load the config file over and again with no result. Still can't play anything. Edit 2 ABC/HR auto selected spdif out on my m-audiophile 24/96 rather than line. I can play and hear now. Still not sure what I am doing though

ABC-HR application has presented the problem in past.

I can't even hear the lowpass which is really suprising me. Much more difficult than I anticipated. Not like listening to Blade at 96kbps
