About MP3/WMA
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) is a standard format for audio compression technology. By
using MP3, a file can be compressed to one-tenth the size of the original.
WMA (Windows Media TM Audio) is the audio compression format by Microsoft. This can
compress files to a smaller size than MP3 can.
