Dave, though I'm not positive, I'm really begining to suspect now that the audible G/J difference heard is due to the extreme compression of WAV to MP3 file compression, especially as low as 64 kbps as with the case of yours. On Donny's version (at 128 kbps) the G for J thing appears less noticeable. One time I play it and it clearly sounds like 'j'igolo (as it should) yet the next time I play it, I swear I hear 'G'-igolo. Perhaps all this is not so surprising considering how drastic the compression is when going from uncompressed WAV to MP3 format. Typrically a 40 mg Wav file gets reduced to 4 mg or even less when you go with a 64 kbps MP3 file. You're obviously losing something (more like a LOT!) of audio information along the way. I recommend (if possible) ripping to 128 kbps MP3 (and preferably higher like 192) to more accurately preserve what was intended in the original recording. This turned out to be a very interesting & revealing thread for us I think.
