'Jukebox' quality?
In light of the recent study
- http://www.airwindows.com/encoders/index.html -
posted at slashdot, I've come to realize how little I know about this whole field.
So, I'm making an appeal to the audio experts here. I want 'jukebox' quality,
meaning ~0 artifacts while maintaining a good compression ratio, but not
quite 'archiva...

through synthetic test signals. A good one is EncoderHell from
AirWindows.com . It was the only case where I could see (not hear) some
pre-echos, and some differencies between "-q 3" and the upper quality levels.
Another difficult signal is the sine wave (1 KHz), that is a little wobbly
at "-q 0", but inaudibly so at "-q 3".
The only dif...
