Help me hear the difference

Software to ABX audio files (on a Mac)?

Is there free software to ABX audio files at different bit rates on a Mac?

I want to see if I can hear the difference. I found one suggestion about doing it through iTunes with a random playlist, but ideally I'd like software that lets me rate the files as I listen to them so I can see how my impressions compared to reality after the test.

I'd like software for a Mac, but if something is Windows only I have an old computer running XP that I can use.

There's a Java version of ABC/HR that should run on Mac.

Note that ABC/HR will require you to decode the files you want to compare to wav.
