Can you tell the difference between a lossless file and a lossy file in a ABX test o.o"
In short, there isn't any reliable way to identify fake and real lossless data.
You may want to search Hydrogenaudio forum for more information.
Sure.
Spectro - Freeware Audio File Analyzer
By the way, you'll probably want to know that with LAME mp3's you'll get around 16 khz for 128 and around 19-20 for v0 and 320 (cd is around 22 khz) although of course for more information, Google is your friend.
edit: also the above program is the best I've found - it reads flac natively, is super fast and lightweight, and is easy to use.
only works for Windows. Any such check for IOS?
MP3 256kbps (CBR) has a frequency cut-off at 20 kHz and MP3 320kbps (CBR) has a frequency cut-off at 20.5 kHz.
Any word about lossless files above 44.1/16? For instance I have some tracks in 88.2/24, tried most of the apps mentioned here, but none of them seemed to be able to handle them.

Hi, sorry for digging out an old thread, but I have a question regarding these spectral diagrams. I'm not sure how to interpret these two MP3 files and would love some help.
So the first one is a a 256 kbps MP3 file ripped a long time ago using iTunes.
The second one is a 320 kbps MP3 file, converted from a FLAC version to MP3 via XLD.
Is this normal? According to http://www.whatinterviewprep.com/prepare-for-the-interview/spectral-analysis/,
It looks to me my "256 kbps" file fits the 320 kbps description more. Is there something wrong with my XLD? Or is everything fine and I'm just confused? Thanks so much.
