Hi and thanks for this new version of this great mp3 decoder. I think that could be great if we upload some samples comparing the audio quality obtained with the in_mad plugin with the others mp3 audio decoders like the Winamp in_mp3 plugin. I have upload two samples recorded with Nullsoft disk Writer, one with this new version of mad plugin and another obtained with Nullsoft MPEG Audio Decoder 3.06 (I don't like the newest versions of Nullsoft's MPEG Decoder).

You only have to look at the bars in the osciloscope to see that there are differences between them. In my opinion the bass using the Nullsoft plugin is more deep and intense, maybe with Mad the audio is a bit more detailed and less punchy. What do you think? Which differences do you notice?
