I'm no Apple zealot. But I like scientific rigor and I question sweeping pronoucements from dubious data.
Production Advice's Ian Shepherd posted a YouTube video in which he tested whether a Mastered for iTunes AAC file 'sounded more like the CD' than a homemade AAC of the same song created by standard iTunes. He declared his homemade file the winner and labeled Mastered for iTunes a failure. Check it out. His "I Say BS" headline has been re-blogged and re-tweeted more than 2000 times without challenge. Carumba!
I believe there are fundamental flaws in his test method that made his conclusion inevitable, which also makes it neither surprising not significant. (Can you say, "tautology?") And I think I have the data to back it up. Judge for yourself.
