Hi All, Since AB testing comes up a lot (particularly with FLAC) I thought it would be useful to be able to do this without a massive amount of effort.
What I have done is develop a script that takes an original WAV file and chops it into regular chunks. These chunks are then (on a random basis) converted to FLAC. When you listen to the chunks in sequence the original song becomes seamless, but the encoding method changes at random. So if you believe you can tell a difference you should be able to hear the change. I have to say, I did this for myself and I am personally convinced that I can hear no difference (I sort of knew it before, but now I believe it in my soul) I've attached the script, there is some documentation, but at present there's no support. Anyone familiar with perl will have no problem, others might struggle using it. I may develop it further, but have no time right now. I'm just throwing it out there to see who's interested. Malcolm Feel free to post your comments back here, try it out, develop it further etc. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: createABTest.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=957| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- mwphoto ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mwphoto's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=652 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21545 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
