Since the data is being encoded with a signal processing trick that is inaudible to human ears this could work in any song with 0-100hz frequencies, right? I w

  It's not inaudible. Human hearing extends down to around 20Hz but also some speakers have terrible frequency response down that low so it might mask it better but the tone isn't low enough to be completely inaudible.

    Comparing the before and after samples, there is definitely an audible difference for this pair of ears. To be fair, I listened to the after sample first and it sounded like regular old Skrillex to me. I scrolled up and listened to the before sample and noticed that the bass was deeper and more harmonious with the higher end frequencies. Basically, the original sample has a "subsonic" vibrations that resonate in time and "harmony" with the higher end sounds. (Also, I'm using higher-end earphones with custom ear canal sleeves to listen.) So, I probably wouldn't have noticed anything unusual if I'd only listened to the modified bass drop, but I can hear the difference when comparing the two.

    I expected it to be similar to typedrummer [1], but with dubstep snippets. [1] http://typedrummer.com/ http://typedrummer.com/
