is wma bigger or smaller than mp3?

Question

how do i change my media player which is copying .(on to my mp3 player in wma to mp3 format .also is wma bigger or smaller than mp3 (i use windows media player 11)

Answer 1

download an audio converter from limewire, just search for audio converters. mwa can sometimes be bigger than mp3 and vise versa, it depends on how much you compress the file. if you convert a mwa to mp3, the ideal mp3 compression is 128 kbps( kilobytes per second)it is the same quallity as an audio cd you would buy from a shop. some mp3 players can play mwa. so try loading the song on to your mp3 player and see if it works. You can change the kbps by clicking on settings( in the program) and changing the kbps to 128 or 200 or whatever. but dont try setting the kbps to like 80 because the quallity would be bad. I sometimes set it to 98 kbps, but if you concentrate you would hear the quallity difference, but only if you concentrate. some people say that if you convert to mwa at 60 kbps, the quallity would be the same as mp3 at 128, but it isnt. if you do convert to mwa at 60 kbps the file would be smaller, but less quallity.
try experementing with the different formats and kbps and see which works the best for you.
