Is your original original?
Posted by: Jez Quigley on 12 April 2004
Ever wanted to know if your audio CD is actually made from an original source? In many countries (Vietnam? Russia?) pirated copies are sold as original, but the music material might have been transferred in a lossy compressed format at some point. A new tool will help to determine originals from compressed copies.
auCDtect - is a program for determining the authenticity of musical CD records, using the character of the audio information it contains, and predict its possible source is it an original studio record or a reconstruction from a lossy encoded data (for example, MP3).Accuracy of >95% is claimed for detecting mp3s.
