   You can look up the format in wikipedia, and more details are in technical   
   documents. I think such an operation is do-it-yourself. Maybe there is an   
   *MP3 mod utility* (lossless MP3 modification utility). Some such thing is   
   for JPEGs. I am lost at how you managed to exchange stereo channels   
   unintentionally. This is coming from a guy who has sixteen presets on my   
   stereo processor in Nero WaveEdit. If you actually prefer violins on one   
   side or the other, then it might do you some good to lose that polarity. I   
   will always do my duet vocals cross-channel from my synth, now that I am   
   routinely including synth.
