Problem playing .wma files

[ycyas]

between 128kbit and 192kbit mp3 many times i can tell that is better or not so good quality.

thas why i use 192kbit if i ripp an audio cd.

Maybe Superman with his supersensitive ears can tell the difference.

i use lame with the standard preset - variable bitrate (VBR)

i think thats the best choice: if you get "easy" music parts a bitrate of 32kb is choosen and on the other side at complex parts the bitrate will be 320kb. the average is mostly around 192kb pro track.

mine use wma with bitrate 44kHz 192 kBps .. and i think this is better than mp3 with the same setting .. i've tried it ..

[ycyas]

that could be, but who has and use wma? the whole world is full of mp3's an the other thing is not every operating-system/device are allowed or can to play wma, cause its only a M$ property thing.

we just talk abt e680 y-cyas .. of course this phone support this format ..
i think mp3 is franhouver's propertie too .. but in 128 kBps, oog is the best, don't worry ..

i've converted all my music to .wma by using WME 9.0 (Pocket PC Voice/Music Quality) and it works fine,
there's a review by Chip that .ogg is the best music format for portable devices
but i'm still using it cause it's smaller than ogg or mp3... :

- actually i'm using wme 9.1 sorry,didn't noticed the versions

- when playing *.wma (what i find out) using realplayer ,only the artist name appears in the tag properties even if you fill in the
details ,anyone have the same problems?(maybe there's something wrong with the id tag)

- when using "pocket pc" settings ,the bitrates are only 37kbps Stereo (realplayer detects as 22Khz/32Kbps) (voice Q)
& 70kbps Stereo (Haven't Tried Yet) (Music Q) Is this really adequate? (without Distortion or noise to the songs)

- what i know is *.wma 64kbps = *.mp3 128kbps/Near cd Quality (Correct me if i'm wrong).
