Hi, Joint stereo is only the next best, but it saves space and there by makes the file a bit smaller.
Here are some definitions of what it is. . A specific coding mode in Layer II audio coding. In the joint stereo mode, the upper frequencies of a stereo signal are joined and coded as intensity stereo in order to conserve valuable bits and improve overall quality. www.sidetrips.com/support/glossary_a_l.asp . A method that takes advantage of the similarities between the left and right channels in an audio file so that it requires less data to compress it. (cp. dual channel) (more..) www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/glossary.html . Joint stereo, in audio engineering, is the technique of encoding stereo audio into a "mid channel" which is a full channel average of the combined left and right channels, with a side channel which has separation information on how to re-create two distinct stereo signals. This can aid compression for a large majority of music, and may be used in MP3, AAC and Ogg Vorbis audio encoding techniques. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_stereo Best regards Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Wood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
