Using Windows WMA I have been able to get my MP3s songs down to 1/2 their size, while maintaining the same quality. Doubling the capacity of my hard drive.

Does anyone have any opinions on the quality of WMA vs MP3?

I tried 3 different WMA encoders, only to run into problems, shareware limitations, complex instructions. The best free one I found is right at Microsoft.
You can get the WMA encoder at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia
The encoder/decoder is fast, easy, & batchable (to convert all your songs at once)
