I only did this so that you couldn't cheat and look at the file format. Since FLAC is a lossless codec, the new FLAC file will sound just like the AAC file did. I started with a FLAC file, turned it into an AAC file, and then transcoded it back again. Also, all the files might be FLAC now, but that's because I have transcoded them back and forth. I have also fiddled with the file sizes, so don't try to cheat by looking at which one is biggest or smallest, and try to figure it out that way because it won't work. The number and codec are the same on all by the way, so if you for example say that 1 is FLAC, then 1 is FLAC on all songs. Jazz, techno-ish, classic rock, pop, folk music-ish and so on.Īll you guys need to do is listen to some or all of the songs, decide which one sounds worst, second best and best, and then say which number is which codec and bitrate. So, let's see if you guys can hear the difference between ~224Kbps, ~320Kbps and 1000Kbps. I have encoded them to AAC with various bitrate at ~320Kbps, Vorbis/OGG at ~224Kbps, and I have also threw in a lossless FLAC file.Īll 3 files are originally from lossless FLAC files with a bitrate of ~1000Kbps.
I have prepared some ~30 seconds audio clips from different songs. If you rip it to a lossy format such as AAC or MP3, then some of the audio will be lost (usually notes humans can't hear anyway). It does not remove any sound, so if you rip a CD to FLAC, then the FLAC file will sound the same as the CD. Now for those of you who don't know, FLAC is a lossless compression algorithm. I was looking through the thread about favorite codecs and though it would be fun to see if people can actually hear the difference between let's say AAC and FLAC.
