Questions related to the Fraunhofer IIS mp3 Surround Evaluation Software V3

What do the different mp3D modes in the mp3 Surround Player mean?

For mp3 Surround content the mp3D algorithm models the surround sound reception by the human ear. Ears (and heads) have different shapes, so the sound received by the hearing varies from one person to the other. To account for that, the mp3D module in the mp3 Surround Player 3.0 offers four different modes users can select to find the mode that fits best to their ears.
