Recently I have been having a discussion on how music today is all about portability and not sound. This is something many here would agree upon. A coworker said to me if the music is coded properly I could not tell WAV from MP3. I told I think I could. He set out to prove me wrong. Today he made me listen to 10 tracks, each as WAV and as MP3. I was able to get 8 of the 10 correct. The 2 I wasn't able to get right was pops tunes with auto tuning. For me it's all in the cymbals with MP3s. Cymbals just stop as if just cut. I can't explain it any better than this.
How do you think you would fare with a WAV to MP3 test?
