For some reason my software won't currently burn MP3.
i have no patience to wait and set it up properly.

I car stereo plays both MP3 and WMA. So i'm currently hard at work on a series of special mixes for the car.

What really is the difference between the two?

Does it really matter?

WMA supposedly sounds better at lower bitrates, but I tend to favor MP3s because they're much more common (and I use higher bitrates when ripping my collection).

With that said, I'm actually considering ripping my entire collection with the WMA Lossless format and using my media player (Roku Soundbridge - a nifty toy) to access and play my tunes.

Maybe it's "perfect" for you, but it's certainly not CD quality.
