Indeed, libsamplerate looks very good from this perspective, that's why i was investigating it. But i'm also interested to know if anyone did a "live" test with various resampling tools, and listen to high-quality records resampled by those tools, ideally in a blind test. I was kinda planning to do that myself some time in the (not too near) future, but other people's input is appreciated. Especially since such a test is difficult to do properly: use the right equipment (studio monitors, refference headphones, etc.) in the right conditions, find real high-q music records that feature details which could be sampling-sensitive (usually bright sounds with fast attacks), take the time to repeat the blind test enough times to make it significant, and so forth. But yes, lacking this kind of input, and having to make a quick decision based on numbers only, i'd probably go with libsamplerate. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
