Is dual mono better than stereo for mp3? I use the Nero program to edit my mp3s This message was posted from a K700

stereo is better quality. 2 channels makes the most of us having 2 ears

In fact it isn't, because if you encode in 128kbps dual mono you'll get 2x64kbps meaning lower quality of the sound than if you used joint stereo where you have 1 main channel that takes most of bits and 2 more for sampling differences between L and R channel. Anyway bottom line is if you use less than 192kbps sampling rate I strongly recommend (joint) stereo, and vice versa- 192+ you can use dual mono This message was posted from a T610

If you're going to play your mp3's on a phone without earphones I think it doesn't matter if you choose mono or stereo since there are only one speaker (don't remember if someone has released a phone with stereo speakers)

I always thought the K700 had mono output. So it can play stereo sounds? This message was posted from a T230

K700 plays in stereo though the handsfree. Motorola E1000 has stereo speakers.

I prefer stereo, but again there aren't many songs I know with stereo effects. Thats why I use mono to encode, for smaller file sizes.

Definitely stereo...it gets you absorbed in the music. Dual mono just seems like mono sound being played at higher volume...
