There is a little problem with this whole approach. mp3 CAN sound good, and we tend to accept what we are served up -for a while. To actually identify the different coding formats one would have to learn to listen for specific things. I found mp3, AAC and Dolby Digital inoffensive and rather pleasant sounding -given decent bitrates. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
