Hello there good fellow botbers!
This is a challenge created to see who can determine what
codecs and bitrates that have been used on a squarewave.

There are 11 wav files in this package, including a sheet.txt.
The textfile should be used to fill in what codecs you think is
for what wavefile. Example: wave01 = mp3 128
would mean its mp3 and 128kbps bitrate.

Now all files are rendered to PCM/WAV for obvious reasons,
else it wouldn't have been so hard would it?

When you are done, e-mail your sheet.txt to
strobeflux@gmail.com , preferably with
Topic: Codec Challenge
or similiar so that I can easly spot it.

in the sheet.txt are also a list of all codecs that
are used for all 11 wave files.

Results and winner/winners will be posted maybe in
a week or so, depends on how many participants i get.

Cheers!

so does the winner get the "golden bitrate" trophy?

Actually, that would be a fun twist! =D We could ask puke7 about it.
Special trophies for very special challenges!

special trophies for special people ::PPPPP

Since this seems to be not the easiest challenge ever, Im going to apply this method for scoring:

All Criterias Correct: 3 points
Bitrate only correct: 1 point
Bitrate off by one step in any direction, but correct codec: 2 points
Codec and bitrate wrong: 0 points.

But scores will also show how many spot on answers you got.
