*g*, yes, such hickup may happen. However, the test I took part was 
quite well organized, with many participants. Also, the overall result 
matched up pretty well with my own. I tested with a good stereo, high 
quality headphones, and I'm aware of good audio quality. I, for 
example, don't use 'lame -h', because I hear artifacts on some titles.

So, all in all, I'm pretty confident in this test. Please note, 
however, that on 128kbps stereo, every recent codec delivers a 
reasonable quality. OTOH, on 64kpbs stereo, OggVorbis (or MP3Pro) make 
plain old MP3 sound like my old long wave radio.
