is WMA 64kbps equal to MP3 128kbps in quality?

[Unregistered]

I read this on cnet, is this true, Spoon?

and if I convert mp3 128kbps to WMA 64kbps, is there further loss in quality?

thanks

Yes there will be a further loss in quality. The two are similar, but at the same time different - mp3 files sound one way, wma file sound another. If you are creating wma files you cannot beat converting from an audio CD for keeping as much quality as possible.
