Mono

discover CDs that are mono http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=59798

From U_ser:Lhellemo

Below are file sizes for the Biagi album 00724349996724, it's true that they are in general smaller than e.g. the Solos de orquesta album. I have not investigated this, but you triggered my curiosity, and I just checked that the version below is a "true mono" (I checked Racing Club), i.e. left and right channels are identical. For the Solos de orquesta version, subtracting the two channels gave a playable but very low volume version of the song. I suspect it could be converted to mono to save space, but I don't know enough about dithering etc to know what would be the best way or if there could be advantagous to keep the stereo version. I can't see why, and possibly discarding one channel would be a good way to convert to mono. But disk space is cheap, so it's probably too much work anyway :-)
