I heard an interview a month or two back with one of the developers of the MP3 format. He said that the real litmus test for them was the acappella version of "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega. Every time they thought they had problems with artifacting licked, they'd try to encode that song. It was only when they encoded that acceptably that they felt they were successful. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
