Interesting, i got it right...
I was using headphones, so maybe makes it easier ? dunno. I use 320k when copying my cd's.
The clip he's chosen isn't a very good for a comparison i don't think.

Yeah I got it right. The difference is so small, you would only notice side by side.

I got it right, but it was a coin flip really (to me). Definitely not worth the effort to re-rip 500+ cd's!

was listening through the TV and noticed a very slight difference, although only a very good ear would notice something like this, i will probably be able to notice it even better when i have my headhones in

if i wasn't looking out for this though, i wouldn't notice it at all, just because you are more aware and therefore ready to notice it

cant believe that the majority of people actually got it wrong :/

I managed to get it right, wouldn't really notice if ya wern't listening for it though.

Anyone tried the other tests on there. I liked the frequency test - Which I couldn't hear past 14KHz. Anyone tried that one? http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/can-you-hear-this-hearing-test/

Meh, 192kbs is fine for everything, 128kbs is okay for most stuff, just some very technical music you can't hear certain bits or it gets a little muddled. 320kbs is nice but unnecessary I'd say (saying that I'm a fan of FLAC).
