About MPEG to WMA Conversion
WMA (Windows Media Audio), developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows Media framework in 1999, is a lossy audio codec with several variants including WMA Standard, WMA Pro (multichannel, high-resolution), and WMA Lossless. MPEG files contain MPEG Audio Layer 2 sound that, when extracted to WMA, becomes optimized for Windows-centric media ecosystems including Windows Media Player, Zune, and legacy Windows CE devices.
Why Convert MPEG to WMA?
WMA was Microsoft's answer to MP3 and AAC, and at low bitrates (64-96 kbps), WMA Standard actually outperforms MP3 in listening tests. For organizations embedded in the Windows ecosystem — using Windows Media Server for streaming, Windows Media DRM for content protection, or maintaining compatibility with legacy Windows CE/Mobile devices — WMA is the native format that integrates without friction.
WMA Pro supports 7.1 surround sound and 24-bit/96 kHz audio, exceeding MP3's capabilities. If the MPEG source contains high-quality audio destined for a Windows Media-based distribution system, WMA Pro preserves the quality while providing Microsoft's DRM integration for protected content delivery.
