Sorry Masterbrother, didn't mean to embarrass you. Just trying to keep things civil (while being a bit of a prick myself - but all in good fun).

Here's something I've wondered about - if you get high-frequency garbage, could you split the high band out and run some noise removal on it to smooth out the top? Or would that make things worse (I've heard artifacts left by extreme noise removal, and they sound similar to those left by low-res MP3 conversion)? Maybe some light reverb in the top end to mask it...

Also, when this gets back to iTunes, it may get worse or more apparent - so you might want to try some processing and then convert back to MP3 just to see how it holds up before burning the final master.
