What is 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.

MP3 files are supported by most portable music players, such as the Apple iPod and Microsoft Zune; they can also be played on the Amazon Kindle; Symbian OS mobile phones can play MP3 files using the UltraMP3 program.

What is 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; Windows Media video files use a .WMV extension.

Microsoft's Zune portable music player and the Disney Mix Stick MP3 Player can play WMA files; they cannot be played on an iPod.

NOTE: Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 was the last version of the Windows Media Player developed for Mac OS X; however, Mac users can use Flip4Mac WMV (also known as Microsoft Windows Media Components for QuickTime) to play WMA files.
