figment
is a shell script which takes two audio files as arguments,
plays a random one repeatedly and let's you guess which one had the
better audio quality each time. After exiting with CTRL-C it will show
you how many times you were right.
This could help you decide how strongly you want to compress your music library or similar.
You'll need mpv
to use the script.
