As a rule, I find that baroque music (with violins using gut, rather
than metal, strings), complex choral music, and human speech sort
out the men from the boys. Gut strings cause some coders to
mis-interpret some of the upper partials as noise, the reverberation
on choral music gets turned into mush, and some coders (notably, MS
Audio 4) are ludicrously inaccurate on speech.
I'm currently encoding 903 tracks of classical music for a large
independent label (using Real Audio G2); anything really bad, I'll
keep a .WAV file for later experimentation.
