default audio channel?

[urgetopurge]

When i play this specific mp3 file through VLC, the audio channel is always set to "left" which is annoying. I would like this to be set to "stereo". Is there an option I can select to set stereo to the default audio channel?

also, is the audio channel of an mp3 imedded inside its meta file or just inside the mp3 itself?

thank you very much for any help.

Normally VLC selects stereo by default unless the preferences were altered.

i opened an mp3 file and without any preferences altered,its default channel is "left". even after i change it to stereo, whenever i move to the next mp3 in the same album, the channel is changed to left
