Thanks for the information. I barely have time to keep up with this thread much less keep up with every detail of the latest in music compression formats and tests. Your direction helps.
A blind test does help eliminate bias a lot, but I am not sure it can eliminate all bias. If I listen to mp3's all the time, I can probably better pick out an mp3 in a line up than another format because my ears are tuned to listening to mp3s. This "picking out" may not be intentional either. It may be simply subliminal preference.
Despite all of Pepsi's intentions, I still don't think Pepsi tastes better than Coke despite their blind taste tests. I can find the Coke in a Pepsi challenge.
I guess I was looking for something a little more precise than a blind listening test. I mean, we can take an image, copy it, and then pass both images through an analysis program and see how they differ. It would seem the copy with the lowest delta would be best.
