Post by: save on January 04, 2008, 03:42:30 PM

Thanks,

I use the Spectral Analysis in EAC.

Here a nice tutorial and explanation that I learned from:

In my opinion, the only way to test for mp3 is with your eyes.  I have not found aucdtect all that precise in its analysis.  Will it give you an idea about it?  Perhaps, but I trust my eyes looking at the spectral view and frequency analysis much more.

I would recommend posting over in the lossy/lossless board at Trader's Den. Lots of people there who can help you.

I would also consider hyrdogenaudio.org.  There is some Russian freeware which will analyze a CD of WAV files and tell you if they were from MP3's.
