Media Player 7, always worked bad on all the systems i tryed it on, but WinAmp never did, so i still think that WinAmp is the #1 Mediaplayer in the world
Does anybody know what's wrong with this WMA encoder? I just cleaned up 500MB off my hard disk by converting my MP3s over, but this app add like a tag to the file or something? I mean, the sound quality is just about as good as the orignal MP3, and they play under Winamp, not to mention they are about half the size as MPs... But with M$, there has to be something wrong here...
I'm sure there is something wrong and I'm sure you'll find out at some point much to your huge annoyance that there is. MS invented WMA format to protect songs and give them the ability to be copyright protected. I know I for one have no plans in the anything near future (next hundred years or so) to convert my georgeous mp3's (all 4000 of them) to any microsoft format.
I think that's just asking for trouble and lots of it at that.
I agree that winamp has no video support. Thats one reason why i switched to M$ windows Media Player. Even though the video quality sucks for it(there must be a way to improve it) i still enjoy some nice "asian dollz" videos.
What makes Mp3 better than Wma? Wma is suppose to be smaller and better(so say's microsoft). What is the main dis/advantages for wma and mp3? I know mp3's have been around for longer but is it better? My portable(Nomad 2 MG) can play both.
