Here's the deal on that. WMA is just as common as MP3, everything plays WMA's just as well as MP3's AND from what I've read WMA can even sound better than MP3 anyway.

Conclusion, who cares about MP3's? I think the answer is the term "MP3" has become the generic term for a compressed audio file like Zerox is for copying regardless of who's copier you're using.

Bob, I'll respectfully disagree with you. Have you tried to play a wma file on an Android cell phone, almost any hardware based media player or an Android tablet? Even some software based media players will not play them if the Windows media player has been removed from the computer.

There are a lot of non computer devices that play MP3 files but will not recognize a wma file.
