My WMAs are always mono


Then you are missing out on much of the point of the recording. Save
stereo always;


I disagree, low bit rate stereo is a waste of some bits that can be used for
better quality mono instead.

and don't go for low bit rates - they sound like ****.


Well DUH!
But *IF* you MUST use low bit rates, for non-broadband streaming audio for
example, I would FAR prefer mono.

MrT.


So don't stream audio at low bit rates; it is an inappropriate
application of an inappropriate technology.
