Foobar ABX principle

Hello folks,

Could anyone please clarify few things about the Foobar ABX comparator? I would greatly appreciate some input.
Assuming there are 2 files currently in a playlist:

1. abc.flac
2. abc.mp3 (encoded from flac)

I select them both and launch ABX.

1. If I click Play A, does it mean that it always be abc.flac playing in each trial every time I click Play A?
2. Does clicking Play A always plays back the same file in each trial?

Thanks Greynol,
I just realized that I could also try this test with completely different songs, just to get the general idea how it works. Anyway, thanks for confirming it.
