256bit lame vs 256bit wma i'd pick lame

wma isn't for high bitrates its geared for low bitrates... 64bit lame vs 64bit wma, wma could be better
128bit might be i dunno
160-192 lame would win by using vbr

yea, i agree that WMA would be better for low bitrates. for 128 and up.. MP3 (with LAME) is still better.... i can notice the differences
