Can you hear the difference in audio quality. Not sure how scientific this is but is good fun. I picked the uncompressed wav file on 4 of 6 and the two I missed I picked the 320kbps mp3. Honestly though, I heard no glaring differences between any file except on a couple of the 128kbps mp3s.

Mp3 with 320kbps compression are very difficult to detect this loss of quality. It's more easy to do with a very high quality headphones or with an high-end hifi equipment.
It's more easy to detect the quality loss in files with smallest compression rate as 128, 192, 256, etc... also with some kind of music, with very vocals or strings, also with some low frequencies.
I personally hate mp3 files with variable bitrate, or this badly compressed files with "subaquatic" looks-like sound, specially with the high frequencies.
It's my opinnion ;)

VBR mp3 files do not work properly with our software.
They may just about play, but other features are often amiss.

"Lossless audio is not supported by your browser"
Grr
I'll have to wait and try it from another PC. Be aware of the notice when trying the test. If your browser doesn't support it, your going to always get compressed audio which kind of defeats the test.
