General Comments:

---------------------------------------
3R File: Sample10\thear1_anch.wav
3R Rating: 2.1
3R Comment: Obvious warbling on the cymbals, and ringing on the initial guitar line. Smearing on some of the bassdrum hits.
---------------------------------------
4L File: Sample10\thear1_wma.wav
4L Rating: 4.9
4L Comment: Not sure about this one (I don't even know if I'm rating the right file). If I really do hear a difference, it would be the cymbals having a slightly more "metallic edge" in the encode. This could be placebo, though.
---------------------------------------
5R File: Sample10\thear1_ogg.wav
5R Rating: 3.5
5R Comment: The difference here is obvious, but the artifacting is not very annoying. The cymbals' sound is radically changed, but with a strong added hiss rather than smearing or warbling.
---------------------------------------
6R File: Sample10\thear1_lame.wav
6R Rating: 4.7
6R Comment: The cymbals sound more metallic than in the original. Not at all annoying though.
