I'd rather not carry around a little jack thingie that can be easily lost, and like I said I halve the size of my MP3s by downmixing to mono (I use V2 encoding).
It's not a big deal and I prefer doing it my way.

actually dont most mp3 players have a mono function? Atleast i recall seeing the function on most of the MP3s i've ever owned, my ipod and my phone.
also yes it is annoying when i listen to music in one ear phone and there's no vocals or a particular instrument/sets of instruments missing. Which is very important for me since i like listening to operatic sound scores and orchestral music.

In response to your question about trilateration,
Many time when someone tries to pinpoint the location of a sound they will rotate their head slightly,
thus adding more points to the original two, allowing them to triangulate the location better.
This is similar to owls, who (to a greater extent) use the same technique.
As for placing the height of a sound, tilting the head again adds more points of spatial reference.
(if this has been mention, apologies, I skipped a page or two, heh heh)
