CD Audio Analyzer

Tau Analyzer is a CD audio analyzer that can determine if an audio CD has been produced using original sources or if there are signs if audio compressions in the audio files. The first would indicate an original audio CD while the later hints at a CD that was produced using compressed audio files like those from music download portals.

The developer has designed the audio analyzer to provide the means to distinguish original studio-based CDs from poor quality fakes. While that is probably nothing that an average listener would care about it could make a difference for music enthusiasts.

Tau Analyzer will analyze the audio tracks of a selected CD and display a status for each analyzed audio track. The status CDDA indicates an original source while MPEG hints at a poorer quality.

Tau Analyzer is another software that can analyze audio files. It can only analyze CDs unlike the audio analyzer Audiochecker which we reviewed a few days ago.

    um… if you can’t tell the difference with your ears then why would you need this tool?

    @Womble:
    that’s my point… if you are a “music enthusiast” you should be able to tell the difference by listening and not need this tool to tell you what the sound quality is.
