Apologies in advance if this has been covered before, but I am trying to decide whether to include the term "stereo" in the description of CDs (RDA 3.16.8.3, MARC 344 $g) when the resource itself doesn't specify the number of playback channels. Some cataloging agencies do, presumably on the assumption that a CD is stereo unless otherwise specified. I have been leaving the information off if I don't find a designation on the source (which in practice, means it's almost always omitted). Thoughts? Recommendations?
