And the password for the key-rar:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It would be kind of useless doing a statistical analysiz (sp?) with such a slim selection, so I'm not gonna do it.

Here's the percentage of the first-picks of codecs in the first test though:

Ogg Vorbis: 38,8%
FLAC: 27,7%
LAME Mp3: 22,2%
WMA: 11,1%
