I agree that WMP may be superior technically but I dont use it for one simple reason - compatibility...

I have a much wider range of players, platfroms and hardware that can play MP3. Not to mention if I download files of kazaa all audio files are MP3. I am not short of disk space, and compatibillity is more important to me than compression.

If compression was very important to me, I still wouldnt use WMA but OGG. OGG is less-known but provides better compression than WMA. Not to mention the matter of morals, that I prefer open-source equivelants especially if they are better...
