A/B testing software

I am trying to find that program that randomly switches two audio files for the purposes of blind A/B testing. I know about Audio Diff Maker and I have got that one. I am sure there was another program that blind switched between two audio files and you are meant to detect the change and it scores for you etc. I had it but just cannot remember what it was called and where it is in my system. Does anyone remember what it was called and what the link might be. Thanks in advance.

Foobar 2000 has an ABX comparator Component that I have used to humble myself on many occasions.

Foobar is good but the ABX component just doesn't let me swing the results in the way I'd like them to go... :D

Thanks guys appreciate it. I have downloaded Foobar with the ABX add on and it all seems to be working. I was just wondering if there was a program that switched randomly for you without you having to do it as such. But once I got into how Foobar works I can see it would be useful too.
 
 

Hi Jeff
 
The one I use is called Magic AB and it is by sample magic.
 
In case my link doesn't appear, go to sample magic's website at

is this what you mean?
 

 
I swing like a butterfly and float like a bee. ;-)

Thanks goodseed. That is not what I was talking about although that program does make it handy to be able to compare reference material to your own mixing and mastering projcets. I don't need it though as I have lots of inputs on my digital mixer and can bring incoming sources in easily and also control and match their levels and switch to those sources fast.
 
The Foobar concept is what I am after. I wanted to be able to compare very similar sounding things and not know which one I was necessarily listening to and try to work out which it was. As Mike says it can be quite humbling, I agree.
 
Especially when doing things like comparing the sound of two different DAW's. Sometimes it is easy to assume that one sounds SO different to the other but once you get into the Foobar thing it changes big time and you find yourself listening to (very) identical things trying to ponder which is which. People who swear they can hear massive differences in things would fail miserably under certain test conditions. I have seen it many times.
