There are many different audio formats, they have different uses. Some music player supports MP3 format, some is incompatible with MP3/WMA format. e.g. Convert MP3 to AAC/M4A, AC3, AIFF, WAV for Apple iPods player (iTouch, Classic, Nano and Shuffle). Convert MP3 to WMA to lower the file size. Convert MP3 to AIFF for CD burning. Convert AAC to MP3 for MP3 Player. etc. Obviously convert audio to audio has been widely used in our entertainment life. 

Even though MP3 format files compatible with almost all the Music Player, but it’s not always our first choice format. An example: MP3 and WMA – which one do you usually choose?

As a standard for digital audio, an MP3 music track can be played on almost any player, whether it’s portable or computer-based. Whatever, it’s the most widely used music format in the world. A WMA(Windows Media Audio) file converted at the same quality as a MP3 file will be about half the size. I can get about 4 hours of music on a 128MB compact flash card using WMA formatted songs. Have tried the song at half the bit rate (128 MP3 = 64WMA). I’ve found the quality to be nearly equal at half the size. Using 64kbps, there’s no doubt, the WMA file sounds much better than the MP3 file at this bit rate, high compression ratio is its advantage. (The only drawback is that rip the MP3 file almost twice as fast as the WMA file.)

Seems WMA is not bad. Actually, 128 is its threshold of WMA, if the Bit rate is upward to 192K, MP3 will defeats WMA in sound quality. On the other hand, WMA is a highly protected format, WMA been used in Music DRM(Digital Rights Management) to avoid copyright infringement. Now, which one? It all depends. For guys who concern the size, if you want as much music on your device, WMA should be your first choice.
