i knew someone was going to ask me for this. every time i (re)google the
stuff i found before on this, i seem to find different studies, and the old
ones are gone. i should keep/host the PDF's. i know that some of the papers
i've read have been hosted (but not done by) hydrogen audio. beyond that, i
would just google for "double blind mp3 test" and start reading.
sorry to not be able to point at "my sources"
