No it doesn't. If you try and save an MP3 at 20kbps it drops the
sampling rate to 11kHz.


You're talking about MP3s. I am talking about WMAs -- which clearly do
allow a sample rate of 44.1 khz with a bit-rate of 20kbps . There is a
significant difference between WMAs and MP3s.


It will only do that if it converts to mono; hardly a like-for-like
comparison. 32kbps is the minimum for a true copy.
