a Mp3 decoder quality? Maybe after the Mp3 Encoders quality tests... why
not?:-)

yes... Fraunhofer seems to be the best.

If I distribute the Wav files the size of ZIP files in the server increases
dramatically! You are agree to download 2MB but... 14Mb??? I think you is
possible, but most of people doesn't agree with it. :-(
I think I will require the decoder information in the reports and see If I
can get any conclusion about differences between v2.22 and 2.62... Thank you
for the idea!

I say Winamp is because EVERYBODY has winamp (or any version of it). The
volunteers doesn't need to download any player. If I use simple playback
increases the use of different decoders, making the test more imprecise,
isn't? I can demand the decoder used and make benchmarks about the different
decoders too, isn't?
Please, remember every idea is welcomed :-)
What you think is the best?
i) Demand to use only determinated version of winamp (v2.22 or 2.62)
ii) Let to use any decoder but reporting what are they using
Id the answer is the first one... Must I use Winamp with the in_mp3.dll of
fraunhofer (v2.22) ?

Yes... I accept my error.
