WMA: WHY?!

You can easily use an Xbox (don't have one) or Windows Media Player 7.1 or up to copy a cd album to wma format. It takes up about 25megs and sounds very good at 64kb/sec sampling rate... Using Windows Media Player is very quick since it comes with a ripper built in. Microsoft can allow wma over mp3 because there's actually a couple of security flags that ask if you're the licensed owner of the original copy as well. This is more than anything protection for Microsoft, but it's a nice feature to their design.
