Hm, is it really a double-blind test? I.e. does the program itself know
which format it's playing? This could be a problem if somebody wants to
abuse this system by writing a client which rates, say, wma best 20
million times in a row.

Unluckily, I can't think of a solution which does not involve security
by obscurity right now. Maybe you can. Or you already have (-:
