Generally comparable files will have two differences, the wma files will be smaller than the MP3 file and the wma file will sound better than the MP3 file.

WMA looks at and treats audio material differently than MP3. Because wma is newer, some older music players may not be able to accommodate a wma file.

WMA and mp3 are both lossy file formats. That means some audio information is discarded and thus lost forever during the conversion from wave.

Wave files are lossless. That means all recorded audio information is retained and available for use.
