Love how the majority of people cant notice the difference in audio quality :)

Maybe its me but I heard the difference right away. Like a crackling in the 2nd clip.

if it was that I think a whoel hell of alot more people would have answered right.

this. also the bass on eht second one seemed less full

The difference is cristal clear listen to the bass. Also its worth remembering that as the volume of such mp3 is amplified louder and louder the quality of the sound is noticed more and more

Everyone says that it's hard to tell the difference when listening through their cans or through their computer speakers. Guarantee you would be able to tell over a club-level system. So while 128 and 160 and 192 may sound good on a computer, I'm sure anyone could tell the difference between those and a 320 or a WAV on a good and loud speaker system.

I described a series of tests that I have done...in a club....on a good and loud speaker system. The punchline is that the results were WORSE than guessing should have produced!

This was a single blind test...but it was still "reasonable" and answered the questions I had about moving from CDs to mp3s for my own playback.

Here is my earlier post for reference...you are welcome and encouraged to repeat this experiment (or something similar)...

I did some blind listening tests years ago. The audience were mostly competitive dancers (people who listen to a LOT of music), the venue & system had been in place for years (familiar to everyone involved), and the music were "familiar favorites" of the audience (songs they had heard before, and probably owned).

I used several formats:
1) Original CD
2) mp3 @ 320
3) mp3 @ 128

The mp3's had been burned onto an audio CD. All the songs were played on the same equipment, etc, ad nasium.

The challenge was to correctly identify the source of 5 songs. The answers were WORSE than straight guessing should have produced!

After a couple times, I added a "I can't tell" option and told them to only answer one of the other options if there were CERTAIN they could tell a difference. Removing the "cant' tell" responses, the answers were almost exactly what would have been produced by guessing!
