A reddit post on that exact experiment. Sadly, the file is down. As a side note, I had a post here that I deleted about this, worded something like "Yes, they used that song". I went back to read the topic, and found I'd made nearly the exact same comment on the story over a year ago. I guess I'm a tad predictable. Edit: Aha! A megaupload link was posted that still works. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ALZY0LCD http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ALZY0LCD Also related, the same experiment but for .jpg: http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/86v2z/see_what_happen_when_saving_600_times_a_jpg_image/ http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/86v2z/see_what_h...

That file only increased my questions on what happened to the audio on this vid. The song is quite recognizable. So why did the youtube one turn into garble? And the jpg one is just incorrect. He kept increasing the compression ratio, which proves nothing at all. For a more accurate view see http://hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/355-How-I-Met-Your-Mother-Through-Photoshop.html http://hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/355-How-I-M... which shows that after a certain point the jpeg stops changing. (Which is what I expected the mp3 to do, but I guess it doesn't.)

  The mp3 is probably using a different audio codec than the youtube video/mp4.
