Hi Gene,
Are you sure the distortion was caused by the mp3 encoding? There *is*
lots of distortion in this track anyway, and I usually compare by
listening quickly to both the wav and the mp3 - but have never noticed any
major difference unless I use < 128 kbps (this track is reported as
208kbps using play/sox).
Unfortunately I hunted all around my hard drives and it looks like I
deleted the ardour session for this track (made in 2008) so cannot
definitely say either way.
Thanks Ralf for your comments too.

Hi James :) kill
wasn't clean and I had to hunt the player down with htop and kill the top
copy of the player, it was left looping about a bar. I wonder if a FLAC
or
ogg would have torn up the keyboard sound like that? I'd like to try one
of
those formats myself as it did sound like the beginnings of something
worth
listening to.
