         test</a>, some development happened. Apple launched the iTunes music management app 
         for the Windows platform; several developers - in response to Xiph's slow development
         rhythm - started developing tuning branches to standard Vorbis 1.0.1, improving
         quality considerably. Lame got tuned further by Gabriel Bouvigne mostly, and Atrac3
         became an interesting contender since it's not limited to MiniDisc anymore.</p><p>Also, this test can be seen as an interesting competition about the quality in 
         online music stores. The ubiquitous iTunes Music Store is represented by iTunes AAC,
         several other stores are using WMA Std, and Sony is expected to launch their own 
         music store soon, featuring Atrac3.</p><p>The encoders and parameters tested are:</p><p><ul id="codecs"><li><a>LAME encoder 3.96</a> -V5 --athaa-sensitivity 1</li><li><a>Apple iTunes 4.2</a> 128kbps AAC</li><li><a>Ogg Vorbis aoTuV tuning b2</a> -q 4.35</li><li><a>Musepack 1.14b</a> --quality 4.15 --xlevel</li><li><a>Sony Atrac3</a>132kbps</li><li><a>Microsoft WMA9 Std</a> Bitrate VBR 128kbps</li></ul></p><ul><li class="question"><h5>Who should take the test?</h5><p>Anyone interested in audio quality at 128kbps, or interested in buying music from
