Hi there -- Every time someone (including myself) said to do a blind ABX test, i was frustrated with the apparent lack of a cross-platform recently-coded well-functioning program, so I ended up writing my own.
It's at: http://lacinato.com/cm/software/othersoft/abx
Tell me your thoughts/suggestions. I will be adding the ability to play a particular file region at some point. I may also add the ability to have arbitrary numbers of files in the test pool (ABCDEF...X) which would be handy for shootouts, etc. Depends on interest.
It runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac (64 bit only on the mac).
It's in Java, but you don't have to install Java to use it. Just download one of the pre-packaged files, unarchive it, and click the executable file. Nothing to install. The files are big as a result, but hey, modern internet, no big deal. :-)
If you have a 64-bit Mac, I'd appreciate you testing it for me -- i have no access to such a computer, so it's untested there.
Thanks! Enjoy. And may your listening be honest and unbiased. :-)
