Can anybody tell me the difference between STEREO and JOINT STEREO regarding the quality?
What I mean ist, how many bits are approximatly saved when using JOINT STEREO and can therefore be used to increase the quality? I guess it may be around 5 - 10 percent, am I right?

Sorry for my bad english folks, I hope you know, what I'm talkin' bout

See "Why is joint stereo better than pure stereo ?"

Here

I’m not sure about the percentage since it varies from track to track, but why would you care? Always use Joint-Stereo since it’ll provide the better result.

True that.

THX, nice Info, but much to read not really what I'm looking for.

Just pure, technical interest B)

Technical interest you say? This web page might be worth checking out...

Very interesting article.
I always wandered why there are simple stereo frames in a
JS file, but know I understand.

Which mp3 encoders can be considered safe as far as joint
stereo implementation is concerned? (Obviously LAME 3.9x
versions, but what else?)
