Jim,

Mp3 is easy to distinguish from .wav.

I made 192 vbr files using lame (whatever their transparent setting was (-2 I believe)).

Anyhow, I ABX'd this quite easily (14/15):

foo_abx 1.3 report
foobar2000 v0.9.3.1

17:49:17 : Test started.

18:00:55 : 08/08 0.4%
18:01:12 : 08/09 2.0%

18:02:22 : 10/11 0.6%
18:02:37 : 11/12 0.3%
18:03:13 : 12/13 0.2%
18:03:28 : 13/14 0.1%
18:03:44 : 14/15 0.0%
18:04:00 : Test finished.

If your system has enough resolution, it is pretty easy. I did it on my general computer with average head phones.

Here is the same file but Apple lossless vs. mp3:

foo_abx 1.3.1 report
foobar2000 v0.9.4.2
2007/03/31 22:12:43

File A: C:\Documents and Settings\Dawnrazor\My Documents\test mp3\Love Under Will.mp3
File B: C:\Documents and Settings\Dawnrazor\My Documents\My Music\Fields Of The Nephilim\The Nephilim\08 Love Under Will.m4a

22:12:43 : Test started.
22:16:18 : 01/01 50.0%
22:16:32 : 02/02 25.0%
22:16:48 : 03/03 12.5%
22:17:18 : 03/04 31.3%
22:17:48 : 04/05 18.8%
22:18:10 : 05/06 10.9%
22:18:31 : 06/07 6.3%
22:18:46 : 07/08 3.5%
22:19:02 : 07/09 9.0%
22:19:26 : 08/10 5.5%
22:19:36 : 09/11 3.3%
22:20:00 : 10/12 1.9%
22:20:14 : 11/13 1.1%
22:20:28 : 12/14 0.6%
22:21:00 : 13/15 0.4%
22:21:57 : 14/16 0.2%
22:22:16 : 15/17 0.1%
