Attention musicians
Please copy this letter and email it to suggestions@youtube.com

Dear YouTube engineering:

I really work hard on making nice sounding stereo mixes. I would really be happy if YouTube didn't transcode all my hard work to mono.

Determined musicians can get small FLV uploads through in stereo if they're resourceful enough to figure out the undocumented steps and requirements, but it adds a ton of additional work (multiple format conversions, checking after uploading and hoping for the best) that adds nothing whatsoever to the end result, it just prevents senseless degradation of our work. Sometimes.

Consider this: at a very minimum, stereo should be default audio format for every musician account. The audience deserves to hear our work in the format we created it.
