I just ABX's his WMA file
NY_DBTR_3-30_to_4-00_WMA_128kbps.wma
and his .wav file. I scored 16/16 right.
I gave up trying to do same for his mp3128, and my own WMA128, versus the .wav;
I couldnt hear a difference between any of them 'sighted', much less blind, on
this segment.
So I'd say there really is something wrong with his WMA encoding.
It's definitely not intrinsic to WMA128 though.
