Ok, I know you're really into music, Funky Capricorn, so I thought you might know this...
I downloaded a WMA that was about 1.15MB, it was a full song, and it sounded as good as a 4MB MP3 file...
So is the compression to quality loss just much better on WMA's than MP3's?
:D WMA is a bigger file,of course its going to sound better...but look at the size :o .MP3 sounds just as good as WMA its just much smaller.I only download 160 bitrate or higher...unless its something rare...and even then I run it throuigh EncSpot. :D
well i dnt like wmas. when i use winamp 3 they buffer and u cant edit their tags. the size is only advantage as they keep quality. mite b just me though :D
stick to mp3. WMA can be good quality though.
Reasons to stay to mp3:
wma is from microsoft you know they will put a limit somewhere on it as soon they've taken over the market. (they actually already can do things for copyrighted material)
mp3 is a big standard nowadays, there are far more mp3's out there as wma.
although WMA files are smaller i like the sound from an mp3 file more. Think the encoding is nicer.
:o I was drunk as hell when I posted this when I got home...I was thinking of wave files for some reason :oQuote:

What is EncSpot?
:D It checks the quality of your songs and lets you know if they are good or not.I don't use it that much anymore cause all I download is 160 bitrate or higher.But if you can only find that song/album in 128 bitrate it comes in handy.Would give you the link but they seem to be down now. :huh:Quote:
