Heh. That peice is really hard to encode. Apart the infamous high
frequencies boost, vorbis amplifies a lot a very backgroung noise at the
beginning of the clip (1s:1.8s). Mp3 does a bad job too.
VH_simple_pro.mp3 sounds "fine" because there are no hi frq harmonics
(22KHz), but chords sound washy (09s:11s). I can't play wma.

<p>Bye.
