NB This is the first clip with the new encoder, so if its crap tell me (personally I think its sounds worse, but I thought the other one sounded fine, so...)
Excellent, btw the reason it is in mono is because it would have been >14MB otherwise and I currently have problems uploading files >14MB to my primary server.
Yes, I understand you putting such a big file in mono to make it smaller. But with shorter files (such as jingles) try and make then 128kbps stereo and see how they run.
