Just because you didn't understand my explanation, doesn't mean that I was wrong and you are right.

With normal stereo, all the data of both streams are still there. Not true with Joint Stereo.
No. Because mp3 encoding is lossy, all the information is *not* there regardless of encoding format.

You can do what you want with your ABR/CBR/VBR and stereo modes, but you are not getting the best possible quality/size of your mp3 files.

I will stop trying to convince you now.
