Poll: Did a little test here for the ATOT people, can you get it right? [updated!!!]

[VoodooExtreme]

1. Ripped a bit of a song to wave from a CD I bought.
2. Did decode it to mp3 using the LAME codec and encoded it back back to wave again.

Can you tell me which one is the original?

Peter_Joback_-_Sun1.wav
Peter_Joback_-_Sun2.wav


(upload finished! There should be pleny of capacity of the server so go ahead and download now.
BTW. Post your download speed too.)

When I get home, I can't wait to give this a shot (no soundcard at work).

I'm guessing this would be kinda hard just listening to the two of them.

No utils are allowed!

well, it really depends what the bitrate is....If you did it at something insane like 512kbit or so thered be almost no way to tell the difference. It also depends if you encoded it as True Stereo or Joint Stereo. If it were joint stereo it would be easier to tell the difference.

jaybert, followed the instructions on www.r3mix.net so the settings I used is:

-V1 -mj -h -b128 -q1

(update: Seems lite www.r3mix.net has changed the settings a bit. Still... used the above settings for the lame codec.)

[MrBond]

Time's up, I wanna know 🙂

 

[VoodooExtreme]

Time to reveal the answer!

The original file was Peter_Joback_-_Sun2.wav
(the mp3-file can be found at: http://w1.421.telia.com/~u42116514/Peter_Joback_-_Sun.mp3.

And still many people say that mp3's sound like crap.
Kinda strange isn't it?

 

[Electric Amish]

You can all bite me! 😛 😀😀

amish

 

[VoodooExtreme]

Congrats to electric amish!

Oooh, oooh, oooh, I know! The original is still held by the recording artist. The CD you have is a digital copy. Your wav files are really #'s 3 and 4....
