I went to rip a CD with WMP, and there's a selection of what file type I want and a selection for quality versus file size. When I select one of the Windows Media Audio options, I can move the slider along the quality/file size bar, buy when I select MP3 (Well, it says MPEG layer-3, I assume that's what MP3 stands for) the slider is placed all the way down at the low quality/small file size side, and I can't move it up. Is this because MP3s are naturally lower quality than WMA? If so, why on earth does everyone and their mothers use MP3 for all their music?
