But wouldn't recording them in mono put the same signal on both channels, so
that
you had two mono recordings of records 1-20 which would then be played
simultaneously?
The point isn't so much trying to get maximum content into the archive, but
getting
it onto one storage entity (i.e. one CD-R, one DVD-R, etc.) so you could
have 40
playable songs rather than 20 on a single carryable thing...
Right?
