Just to give some results: jkh@time-> ls -l wrong.wav -rwxrwxr-x 1 root wheel 42705308 Feb 15 00:00 wrong.wav [A CD tune I recorded as a test] jkh@time-> ls -l stereo-wrong.mp2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 jkh jkh 3873509 Feb 16 20:16 stereo-wrong.mp2 That's a LOT of compression! ;-) I've spent a lot of time listening to both versions now and I swear I can't tell the difference!
