I ripped a cd in WMA and MP3 at 128 KBPS, with Windows Media Player 11 and
Roxio 9. The MP3 files came out smaller than the WMA files in both instances,
and the quality is identical. I did the experiment again with another cd, and
I came up with the same results, the MP3 files were smaller and no noticable
difference in quality. Microsoft says "superior quality at a fraction of the
bitrate..." Is that just a jingle to push WMA, or are they trying to say if I
burn WMA at 64 kbps, I'll get the same quality as an MP3 at 128 kbps? Which
format really is the better?
