All about WMA files
Windows Media Audio (Microsoft)
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio. The lossy Microsoft-developed audio format is similar in compression to MP3 format, but optimized for Windows Media Player. The compression method filters out certain frequency ranges that are not perceptible to the ear, so that the file size can be greatly reduced. A document in WMA format supports bit rates of up to 24 bits and is also stream and surround-capable. The implementation of a DRM protection for the protection of copyrights, is also possible with a file in WMA format. As a result, AAC became popular as an alternative for online music shops.
