I've specifically encoded the songs off CD in Stereo, Joint Stereo, and Dual Stereo... and the Joint sounds like ass. I am using the Radium packaged Fraunholfer codec ripping from my CDs in a SCSI cd-rom.

dunno what else could cause that so much.

(btw... i realized what i said about inflating to wave and then re-encoding after i posted... yes, i now see how that wouldn't work... thanks for pointing that out.)
