I'm experimenting with different values right now.. currently listening with jointstereo=0 bitrate and maxbitrate=128 (just picked a random number) - seems to sound great.. Would love for others to try higher bitrate settings and see what happens...

edit - maxbitreate/bitrate = 160 was giving me quite a bit of skipping.. trying jointstereo=2 max/bit = 128 again.. seems to be the sweet spot? Sounds great.. Would love to hear other people's opinions..

BTW - if it makes a difference - i'm using coreplayer for my music.. (uses less battery then windows media player, but works w/ remote/library/etc...

I am going to try jointstereo=2. Funny I didn't notice that there was no seperation.

The default that was in 3.5 helmi 1.0.2 on the bitrates are:
MaxSupportedBitPool =1e
BitPool=1e

What does 1e translate to? Thought I'd ask before I try changing em.
