Yes, the constant re-editing will be an increasing quality-degradation factor. That's why I save everything I can as FLAC so I can edit endlessly over time.

Maybe (when storage and bandwidth become next-to-free in the future) we here should all convert to FLAC or some other lossless compressor?

I have already put all of my FLAC versions into the JAM jar on nylon.net. You might want to grab them too, if you too are a radio surgeon.

Many MP3 players already decode FLAC (e.g. my Galaxy S3 phone, and Sansa Clip+ MP3 players), and with 32G SD cards selling for less than $1 a gigabyte, we're not short on space in our portable players any more...

I thought about making this fix myself, actually, though I worried about generational degradation from constantly reencoding MP3 audio, and so was going to look for my original source files.

I'll grab your version. Thanks!

Hi James. Just to confuse the issue, I've taken the slightly-better-quality #387 WS version intro and grafted it onto your high-quality remainder to produce another version (v3).
It's in my JAM jar at http://nylon.net/up.
JAM fanciers can take or leave it as they please...

And yes, I know this is all getting pretty confusing.
Perhaps if we start getting multiple surgical versions, we might need to identify them by their doctor, e.g. curry, nylon etc.?
