It looks like you're trying to market something that's not pertinent to
this example. Pomposity isn't much of a sales technique, either.

Is your agenda to argue for the sake of argument? Listen to the files
already. Here they are, properly named now.
http://www.badongo.com/file/5372691 (Down By The River 3:30-4:00 WAV)
http://www.badongo.com/file/5372700 (Down By The River 3:30-4:00 WMA)
http://www.badongo.com/file/5372709 (Down By The River 3:30-4:00 MP3)
When something sounds that much off, ABX or ABC or ABD is not needed.
You started off inexplicably assuming I'm opposed to blind testing, when I
hadn't made a single comment on it. I'm all for blind testing if there are
subtle differences, but that's not the case here. Are you of the mind that
the whole world is against ABX by default? "Anti-ABX conspiracy rocks the
metro area!"

You're tilting at windmills. Listen to the dadburned files! I just closed
my eyes and heard the difference even better. The MP3 is significantly
cleaner than the WMA, which isn't usually the case with those formats at
128 kbps.
