If the recording is mono there would *be* two channels. What you have is a stereo recording, with the same data on both channels (more or less). While a computer can play something other than standard 44100 sample/sec 16 bit stereo, players maynot be able to do so. You can do a mix for wav or mp3, but paranoia duplicates what's on the CD, regardless of the desirability of doing that. -- bill davidsen <[email protected]> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Paranoia homepage: http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to '[email protected]' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
