Interestingly enough this thread got me to do research on Joint stereo and I
found out that middle side joint stereo sounds better to me too. I got a
cheap 512MB MP3 player for Christmas and I had reencoded anything 160 and
above to 128 plain stereo so I could fit more of them on the player and
found that some of them really do sound bad. I then set CDex to joint
stereo VBR and the songs do sound way better and with the way I have it set
the files are barely larger than the plain Jane 128 ones.
