what is difference between MP3 format sound and windows media audio file?

Wma:

Audio file compressed with Windows Media compression; proprietary format developed by Microsoft, similar to the .MP3 format; can be converted to other more standardized formats; often used for playing music from the Web

Mp3:

Compressed audio format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group; uses "Layer 3" audio compression; commonly used to store music files and audiobooks on a hard drive; may provide near-CD quality sound (stereo, 16-bit) in a file roughly 1/10 the size of a .WAV or .AIF file.

The quality of an MP3 file depends largely on the bit rate used for compression; common bit rates are 128, 160, 192, and 256 kbps; higher bit rates result in higher quality files that also require more disk space.

The format which is recognized by any CD player, new or old, is wav.

Mp3s are not limited to mp3 players. More recent CD players will also play this format.

I think the Windows Media Audio file is a regular audio file that can be played in any stereo. And MP3s can only be played with an MP3 player....I am not sure, but I think that's what it is.

What you would be able to desire to do is pass to abode windows media audio and click the link decrease than the rip icon and pass to extra techniques and it would desire to have which format you decide on exchange it to. exchange it to MP3 and press ok and than rip it lower back . sturdy luck
