Hi All,

Regarding compression efficiency, which audio encoder results in
smaller file size with almost the same quality, wma or aac? How about
wma pro+ vs. aac+ v2? Would appreciate if somebody could refer me to
test results/articles/etc.

Thanks

I have made no tests with Windows audio, but in a commentary in German
national public radio on Bill Gates latest ideas it was said, that mp3
is half the size of wma and, as we all know, aac is better than mp3,it
can do, btw, DRM as well.
