sound quality is determined by the ear, and thus the equipment producing the music, and less importantly the file type.
Both MP3 and WMA will product identical sound quality under similar conditions.
MP3 has more 'support' and is more 'standard' thus the types of 'players' will have an effect on the music quality as well.. A junky player that is not optimized for MP3 will make it sound worse, and yet other players not optimized for WMA would make that version sound bad.
Short answer is both are identical in terms of data stored and the capability to produce IDENTICAL sound quality. it's the play and how it was recorded and digitally stored that matters...
I prefer MP3 :)
