Music Match - rip tracks in "true" Stereo

 

This applies to older versions of MusicMatch.  Once it began taking over every file on my PC - I converted back to v4.0

 

A hidden scret is that by default - MusicMatch rips tracks in "Joint Stereo".  This is actually a mixture of Mono and Stereo - terrible idea !!  To get MusicMatch rip in real STEREO (Not Joint-STEREO):

Go to your MusicMatch directory and locate the file "Bravadj.ini".
Open it with NOTEPAD (or your favorite text editor) and find the line: mp3cdqChannelMode=XXX

If all is well, on the XXX it says 103, this means JOINT-STEREO.

Change the number to your needs:

100 = MONO
101 = DUAL-CHANNEL
102 = STEREO
103 = JOINT-STEREO
