My main PC running Win8 already has these tools set-up the way I like them. The reason I'm using this is so that I could then simulate a completely clean install. In order to provide the screen-shots, I'm using a virtual XP machine (virtual box) and a laptop (my optical drive on my PC just died – so I'm awaiting a replacement). Setting up ripping with EAC (Exact Audio Copy) For the record, I do believe some people will be able to differentiate - but for the vast majority - not really (purely my opinion). This thread is purely meant to be a how-to for those who are interested in setting up a simple abx. If you feel that strongly about it – go start your own thread. I'll will however continue to be skeptical (as in all cases I've found same people simply refuse to subject themselves to a proper abx – fear maybe?) – but I would ask you not to 'pollute this thread' with argument and debate.
it's your prerogative, and I won't debate it. Lastly – for those who don't believe in abx testing, and yet state they can obviously tell a night and day difference just by listening …. If I think the amendment is worth adopting, I'll edit the original how-to. If anyone finds flaws in my method, or has other suggestions of better ways to achieve the end result – then please make comment. It is by no means a definitive guide – instead just what I have gleaned along the way. This is my attempt at a step-by-step guide on how best to perform the test. However – I couldn't find a lot of really good how-to's readily available which set-out clearly how you should set up an abx. I decided to write this quick guide because I often suggest people abx different lossy vs lossless music formats so they can make informed choices. In fact far more important than the container is the actual mastering of the audio track. IMO the reality is that for most of us – if we take placebo out of the equation (by performing a blind abx), we can't actually tell the difference between aac256 or mp3 320 and lossless – if we use the same original source file for the re-encoding, and playback on the same audio system. Most times, those same people have never taken the time to actually abx different lossy formats (against lossless), so the same endless myth is perpetuated (that to truly enjoy music, you have to be listening to a lossless source).
#MP3TAG PRO REVIEW PORTABLE#
One thing that has constantly annoyed me on my own journey of discovery is the number of times people blindly recommend using lossless for a portable DAP.
