You asked for it and here it is. Finally found the willpower to resurrect that fucker. Due to the flawed previous test, you'll notice that this version differs from the former. This time around, you'll have to choose not from 4 options (or qualities), but 5: 56kbps, 128kbps, 192kbps, 320kbps and the cd quality. The idea was to include a lower bitrate for the people who have a hard time telling from higher qualities due to poor hardware or whatever reasons. To "prevent" filesize to quality identification, all the 5 samples are included in a single audio file with an interval of 3 sec. between eachother. Last, I tried to choose an excerpt that is more appropriate for the test.
Again, for the basics:
Included in the file below is an audio file which contains 5 samples. The encoding quality differs for each one of them. The 5 encoding qualities are:
a) 56kbps
b) 128kbps
c) 192kbps
d) 320kbps
e) cd quality
Of course, don't expect the samples to fit this order, meh.
Basically, all you have to do is to post your results in this form:
in chronological order
1) sample 1 = (choose a quality from the list above)
2) sample 2 = (choose a quality from the list above)
3) sample 3 = (choose a quality from the list above)
4) sample 4 = (choose a quality from the list above)
5) sample 5 = (choose a quality from the list above)

To avoid the domino effect, just private message me your result. I'll bump the thread everytime I get one. So yeah, it would be for the best to avoid ANY conversation in the main thread. I count on you.
On last thing, I expect you regular off-topic members to be MUCH more active ...
Give your best shot!

RESULTS
Sample 1 = CD
Sample 2 = 320kbps
Sample 3 = 128kbps
Sample 4 = 192kbps
Sample 5 = 56kbps

Haha, wow Sadguru - you're on a roll here! I must say, this is the most exciting thread I've come by in years, lol. I can't wait to check this out and yes, Mumblefood's idea about the PM's is perfect!
