    This is great, Olaf. Thanks for posting this! I had a basic app that allowed for some frequency recognition. But, this is rather in-depth and challenging. I'm glad that I can build this skill, since I never had any formal training. This is a boost of confidence in a can, knowing that my ears getting sharper.

    Yes I do.
    They actually are pure solid gold.
    I'm thinking of selling them and buy all the software available and share with everyone here.
    I'll have to ask the mods if they can contact R2R for the crack purposes

    Tip: sign up before you do this, or you'll be very frustrated when you lose your progress like I did. :(

    So far was too easy/tedious until the mp3 (silver) test, took me a while to notice - was easier for me to stop/start each clip and listen from the start to notice differences. Easiest difference to notice is in the hats.

    Final edit: yay I finished with golden ears.
    The most difficult test was the mp3 test. Lucky the test topped out at 128 kbit/s

    Got Golden Ears too... While it was very subtle to choose which file was ther MP3, the step where I got the worst results was finding what frequency band was cut/boosted.

    I've been doing this test every morning for more than a year as a "calibration" method and then eventually got bored with because it became too easy, predictable like.

    Great challenge :D ...I finished it in little over hour but, yeah, mp3 128kbps was tough for me too, kept me there for a while... also the exact bands challenge wasn't easy as the rest... I've got to learn my bands for sure :dunno:
