Description-en: audio ABX testing software
abx is a program for performing software-based audio ABX testing on GNU/Linux
systems. ABX test (Wikipedia, Hydrogenaudio) is a statistical test for
assessing whether you are able to tell for audible differences between two
samples. For example, one sample can be a compressed audio file such as OGG
Vorbis file and another one its uncompressed variant (WAV, AU, …). You can then
use abx to infer whether you are able to separate the two samples due to
compression artifacts.
