I never claimed "..that MP3 sounded as good as Vorbis." . Please quote me more accurate than that. I said that there is little difference between them. I probably should have added "under real world conditions" for which the mentioned tests are a valid comparison. That said, I don't think the tests Rjamorim and other do are on that crappy equipment. Certainly higher than Joe Averages equipment.
