Don't get the ugly girl thing, you should rank them in order of merit (or demerit *nasty grin*).

Just thought I'd plug a really tight mp3 player + plugin.

The MAD plugin is capable of decoding at upto 32 bits... of course, one would need a pretty high quality soundcard to benefit from that (costing upwards of $400 for a decent 24-bit card with a high quality DAC). Still, even with a 16 bit soundcard, this plugin sounds sweet, decoding at the "professional quality" 24-bit and then dithering the signal down to 16 bit, allowing a dynamic frequency range that theoretically exceeds the limits of a 16 bit card. However, to me, it just sounds like its capable of reproducing richer bass, and maybe treble. Still, compared with the stock decoder, its an improvement. Go here for an article on sound dithering:

Interesting stuff, yes? Of course, I'm here to offset the weird stuff that Agagooga there likes to post.
