Hi,

It seems highly doubtful that it can be done *losslessly*.
Because the data for the two channels is not independent
while encoded in stereo MP3 (as it would be in WAV,
for example.)
Well I was hoping there would be only a bit or two to be changed in the
MP3
header that control the channel assignement. (like those MP3 gain changing
programs where this is done without re-encoding the actual data)
If not, I will have to live with it.
You can look up the format in wikipedia, and more details are in technical
documents. I think such an operation is do-it-yourself. Maybe there is an
*MP3 mod utility* (lossless MP3 modification utility). Some such thing is
for JPEGs. I am lost at how you managed to exchange stereo channels
unintentionally. This is coming from a guy who has sixteen presets on my
stereo processor in Nero WaveEdit. If you actually prefer violins on one
side or the other, then it might do you some good to lose that polarity. I
will always do my duet vocals cross-channel from my synth, now that I am
routinely including synth.

If it sounds too good to be true, then don't be a sucker.
