Meaning the same audio on both channels? Simply mono. Are you aware
of an imbalance between channels on some of the MP3s, and do you have
a handle on how to deal with that issue?

Sure, you can make an XY or ORTF pair of shotguns. Or do 1-point M-S
with a shotgun for the M. Since you record soundscapes, highly
directional may not be desirable for all occasions, though.

I support your efforts, but I've got to say that at the level you've
achieved so far, the packaging looks a lot better than the contents
prove to be...I'd be disappointed if I bought a soundscape CD and
discovered it was mono.
