Default Exchanging audio channels in MP3 files?

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.

Thanks for your reply,

Ciao
