RE: That's fine with me, but you positively do not have the CDs I'm going to recommend.

Also, most likely nobody here besides myself has them either, or would enjoy listening to a track even for a short time.

Having said that, below are 3 tracks that I personally tried to listen to recently in 320 Kbps MP3 (LAME 3.97, 3.98, 3.99) versus WAV, and found differences easily identifiable. They are selected so fragment you're interested in is in the very beginning of the track.

1.
Artist - Saturnus
Album - Veronica Decides to Die
Track - #6, "Embraced by Darkness"

2.
Artist - Eisregen
Album - Rostrot
Track - #2, "Schakal: Ode an die Streubombe"

3.
Artist - Megaherz
Album - Götterdämmerung
Track - #3, "Keine Zeit"

--------------

Hey carcass: I managed to locate title 3, the Megaherz one. The local metalhead at the music store had a copy.

Gads. Dynamic range DR6 (not bad for metal I guess, better than 'Raw Power')! I like many styles of music but you're right, this ain't my cup of tea :-)

I do agree with you on one point though - this track would pose quite a challenge for high quality MP3. Easy to detect MP3 you say? Will have to give it a try - what do you listen for?
