Can you try it with Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega? It's sung without any instruments, and an early version of MP3 reportedly was a disaster on that song.

  Here you go: http://no.gd/vega2.wav http://no.gd/vega2.wav It holds up ridiculously well considering the entire song compresses down to 25392 bytes.

    The lyrics of the song are 1200 characters long, so this version of the song only takes up twenty times more space than the written lyrics.

      At some point she sings "loose" instead of "nice" in the compressed version, and a bit later it also sounds like "lulk" instead of "milk". So it's a bit lossy even with respect to the lyrics!

      Curious, it definitely works, but the domain is "weird" enough that certain firewalls or proxies may have trouble, perhaps. I've put it at https://gofile.io/?c=F5gle3 https://gofile.io/?c=F5gle3 as an alternative.

        That one works! And now I'm going to have nightmares.

    Could you also try "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer? I am curious how it sounds when there is a really active bassline and lead synth.
