ABX on Foobar?

I've been messing around today, trying to figure out how to work ABX tests and such, and I know that foobar has an ABX tester, so I downloaded the super loaded foobar, but I can't figure out how to run an ABX test on it. Are there any good tutorials or something online that can help me learn to do an ABX test and such?

Please keep in mind i'm new to a lot of this stuff, so lemme know if i'm on the totally wrong track here.
Thanks!

Running ABX tests in Foobar2000 is easy.  Here's how:

Add the two files you want to ABX to the playlist and highlight them.

Right-click and go to ReplayGain and then click Scan per-file track gain.

Then when the files are still highlighted, right-click and go to ABX two tracks.

That's all there is to it

Ah man, I feel really dumb  In EAC i erased the command line by accident. If i wanna make a normal --APS MP3 using LAME 3.90.1 and then 3.96b1, what should the command line read?

If you want to be able to do this for this thread you should use 3.90.3.

edit:  If you don't want to do this for that thread don't worry about it . . . although AFAIK 3.90.3 should yield better results then 3.90.1.

I am missing something.....

Just Download Foobar 0.8 Standard. Followed these instructions for apply replaygain. Then with two files still highlighted, right click and then.....

Where is "ABX", Can't find it in any of the menu choices?

ABX component only comes with the Special Installer.

Check out the Download page on foobar2000.org
