Rhapsody v. Urge Streaming Listening Test 2006-12-30 21:22:21 I think a discussion of user preferences between Rhapsody and Urge streaming audio would be interesting. However, I notice that the forum rules prohibit making subjective comparisons without backing them up with a double blind test.What procedure could one use to do this and comply with the forum rules?

Rhapsody v. Urge Streaming Listening Test Reply #2 – 2007-01-04 08:01:31 Urge shows as QuoteWindows Media Audio 9 128 kbps, 44 kHz, stereo 2-pass CBR and I'd be surprised if they do any special processing at that rate. I'm not sure why they would use 2-pass with CBR.I don't know what Real uses for Rhapsody.
