ABX might convince himself, but it won't convince anyone else unless samples are published which others can use to verify the ABX results.  The scientific method requires that results are reproducible, and providing samples is a stipulation in TOS8.

But even then, we have no ability to verify the configuration of each test subject, which might not be like for like.  Once we've had an opportunity to review and verify the ABX, we also then have to be able to reproduce the samples.

(When I say "we", I don't mean "me"!)

It isn't hard to set up two different fb2k versions, mask the identity, and then have a person play from whatever fb2k the coin says. Guess which one. Write it down.
Arguably you should set up three, and always play from "number zero" in between, so that test subject cannot guess from the time it takes to start playback whether it was the same as the previous.
Rinse and repeat a pre-determined number of times. Count up the correct answers. Report here.

That could have been done a long time ago.

And then one could maybe have taken it serious. But not anymore. Someone who has already made up their mind to this degree, why shouldn't they bother to do the test they have so much aversion against, when they can just make up numbers that support their desired conclusion and post those instead?

[...] lack of tangible proof does not mean that hypothesis is false :)
Agreed, but it does not free you from having to bring tangible evidence for your claim as per ToS and a basic "burden of proof" gate. We are basically in a dragon in my garage situation. Without anything to go by, all we can do is ignore the claim. Or never stop looking for all those dragons out there.

I do understand the need to reproduce problem to fix it. Please note that a positive ABX test result from my side will not solve this problem.  Originally I hoped that the difference would be noticeable for developers.
The issue talking about the differences between 2 f2k versions ABX test is possible only with recordings, and the recordings need to be good enough to capture the differences. The recordings I compared were provided by misio, who has a decent sound card, but there's no information if even misio was able to hear the differences in the recordings.  My statement is based on my system.  I'll be happy to provide recordings if I find a way to get good enough recording setup. And the science and logic says, that lack of tangible proof does not mean that hypothesis is false :)

foobar2000 mobile / Cue Sheet is not working when file is played from FTP server
Last post by Trimonium -
Hi,

I'm using cue sheets with my audio files. They'll work without any problems when I'm playing files from the internal memory or from a SD card.

But the same audio files and cue sheets are not working when I'll ty to play them from my NAS.

I can access the NAS without any problems and can also play the audio file without the cue sheet. I also see the cue sheet and can click on it, but nothing happens when I'll try to start playing my audio file using the cue sheet.

There is no error message and also nothing will be written into the Console log.

So is someone else here that ever tried to play audio files using a cue sheet via FTP or can someone maybe try to do this?

It's also working fine, when I'm playing the same files from FTP in the Foobar PC version and also works when I'm playing it with my Dune HD Mediaplayer.

Anyone an idea why this is not working in the mobile version of Foobar?

Thanks and Regards

Tri
