Lame encoder >> Joint Stereo?!?!

ok guys, can anyone tell me what's the difference between 'Stereo' & 'Joint Stereo'??!

I'm encoding a lot of cd's lately and ofcourse I only want the best quality!!

which settings are the best > with or without 'joint'?

or does anyone have good settings for the lame encoder for me (no VBR)?!?!

Thanks, Kamaya.

I found this site! Explains a lot to me, I'm keeping it @ 224 kbit/s joint stereo (done about 10 cd's so I'm glad this is supposed to be the best option)

thanks for the sites!

so are you recording mp3 cd's??? or are you ripping mp3's???

cuz i still don't get why your encoding it if you're going to be recording it as an audio cd!?!?

When I encode my rips, I have it at 192k Stereo, Not joint stereo cause joint stereo messes with the sound quality of the music making them a bit smaller, So if I were you, encode them in Stereo instead of joint stereo.

stereo > joint stereo

Stereo / Joint Stereo (if my memory serves me right) is just a different way to store the channels data (mixed vs sequential)... Thus, it makes no real difference, or so I think...
