I MP3'd a recording that was originally fully stereo separated, using
MusicMatch Jukebox 6. Somehow in the encoding process, it got turned
into semi-stereo (not quite mono), which can be heard listening to the
original WAV file and then the mp3. I think it is called "joint
stereo" which is horrifying to an audiophile like me, because now I
realize that all my MP3'd recordings may have LOST their STEREO
SEPARATION!!! ARGH!!! Am I going to have to re-mp3 them? Or is this
the player doing this?
Joint stereo doesn't discernably reduce seperation once you eliminate the
bug mentioned below.
What would be the one or two best (affordable) MP3 encoders on the
market that result in great audio quality (archive quality?) and can
encode entire batches of files.
Any advice welcome.
Upgrade your MMJB to at least 6.1. Version 6.0 has a stereo
separation bug.

But for best quality mp3, use the lame mp3 encoder with the
--alt-preset standard setting.

Also, look for Exact Audio Copy (EAC), which puts a nice interface on
LAME.
