These two samples are the ones which prove that the freezing method actually works.

Analyze the waveforms, but you don't even need to do that, as the background noise in the "before" sample is clearly noticeable, while in the "after" sample it's all gone.
And if you argue that it may have something to do with the compression algorithms or audio input to the computer, if you're the kind of guy who has $20000+ worth of audiophile equipment and listens to music in HD-DVD format,
then you're not the kind of guy who should have anything to do with MPx players in the first place.
I mean i can hear the compression artifacts in MP3s with bitrates lower than 192kbps even on my C-Media CMI8738 soundcard hooked to an amp and a pair of speakers which aren't worth more than $250, but a MPx player's audio quality is much, much lower, and compression artifacts in MP3 audio are the least thing to worry about.
Yet, these nifty little devices actually play music, and that's what they were designed for. If you aren't happy with yours then go buy a higher quality player like an Archos or an Iriver, and stop bitching about us here, we're just trying to get a little bit more out of our cheapo players.
