Re: Converting from WMA to Mp3

mp4 might be better quality, but name me one portable device that supports 
it? when I burn a cd with Nero I'm going to use mp3 because it's standard 
and almost everyone can listen to it one way or another. If you use mp4 you 
have to be in front of a computer, you have to have Winamp and the 
necessary plugin to listen to the files so it makes things a lot more 
limiting. Not saying you're wrong or anything, just pointing these things 
out for folks who may not know about mp4.
