I decided I want to convert my wmas to VBR mp3s, instead. Please see asterisk above about my wma bitrate uncertainty. Assuming that my original wmas are 128 kbps bitrate, that imposes an absolute upper limit on the sound quality of the future mp3s, right? So, that leads me to believe that I should convert to VBR mp3s at 32 (minimum) 128 (maximum) and quality of 4?
A higher maximum would just be a waste of disk space with no improvement in sound quality?
EDIT: By the way, I've just discovered that the sound quality of the mp3s will definitely be worse tno matter what han the wmas b/c it's lossy to lossy conversion. Oh well. Maybe I should get an old Zune. Or convert to a different format that I can use on the iphone that preserves the sound quality of the wmas. I'll look into it but any ideas? And again, there's the issue of not wasting disk space since the wma sound quality is limited in the first place.
Thanks,
