Do you delete music you download if you find out it is a .WMA?

[BigToque]

I used to download nothing but MP3's at 192 or higher, but sometimes I end up accidentally get a .WMA file (at 127) and I would just delete it.

I just keep them now. I think they sound pretty good. No different than MP3's af far as my ears can tell. Are the file sizes any different?

 

[AcidicFury]

I think the file sizes should be close to the same because mp3 has pretty high compression. Not like lossless...

Are the file sizes any different?

the bit rate times the number of seconds will give you the file size.

All of my music is wma, so no.

 

[PingSpike]

Typically, yes.

 

[Anubis]

yes

I don't download them in the first place, but if I did I would. The wma's I've come across have sounded bad, and I also don't like it as it's M$'s.

That's funny coming from someone using Win XP Pro.

Now there's an intelligent post.

I usually encode CD's as WMA because it's easier (when I tried to use EAC I must have messed up settings, or forgotten to turn on DAE as it was a fresh install, so the wav files were blank, and so were the .ogg's I encoded to).
I only have 128k mp3's anyway due to dialup
Don't get many wma's, but I keep them.

Wow...

 

[nakedfrog]

Generally, yes. Nice to have some consistency.

I've never had a problem with identifying a file as WMA before I download it.

Want to give me a Linux distro that runs games without a monthly fee winex or the other 95% of programs that are made for windows & windows only? mp3s are better & painless

I tried ripping a CD as MP3 (EAC+lame--standard) and WMV and couldn't tell the difference at 128-192. Though I've read that anything higher then 192, MP3 sounds better. I don't have the proper equipment to notice the difference.

If I did download a wmv and it sounded fine, I would keep it.

 

[Lifer]

yes i delete them.

 

[xEDIT409]

WMA's are an annoyance.

 

[TitanDiddly]

Never had this problem.

 

[daniel1113]

I only use Uber-quality VBR mp3s. Period.

I actually know what I download and I do not download .WMAs.
