Version 1.2 (of 09.12.2003, audio-1.2.exe, 749 KB)

• The disbalance between the lossy and lossless audio codecs is completely done away with in the test packet. 
• OptiFROG lossless codec added. 
• Monkey's Audio lossless codec added.  
• Now the test packet measures time of compression for four lossy codecs (GOGO, LAME, OGG Vorbis, WMA9 VBR) and four lossless ones (FLAC, OptiFROG, Monkey's Audio, WMA9 Lossless). 
• All required software except the Windows Media Encoder 9 in included into the test packet. 
• Compatibility is maintained: the test results of v1.0—1.2 are identical (except the subtests added). 
• For your convenience, apart from options for running certain subtests (like <-lame>) and the entire test packet (<-all>), there are <-lossy> and <-loss> options added - for running all subtests with lossy and lossless coders. 

Version 1.1 (of 08.12.2003, audio-1.1.exe, 650 KB)

• Minor changes in the script, they they do not influence an outcome of the subtests eariler included into the packet (diagnostic data displaying improved).

• Subtest with the FLAC lossless audio codec added (by readers' request). The codec is included into the test packet distribution.
