As the common audio format, MP3 is widely accepted in almost all operation system. Besides, most music players, mobile phones, smart TV and car stereo supports to play audio in MP3 format. However, although WMA can be played in most OS and players, it gets a poor compatibility in old digital players and electronics which were released before WMA getting popular. In other words, the compatibility of WMA is poorer than that of MP3.
Both WMA and MP3 are lossy audio compression formats and they also provide selectable bitrate. Common bitrate are 128, 160,192 and 256 Kbps. The maximum bitrate of these two audio formats is 320 Kbps. Comparing with the original sound source, the standards of audio quality are subjective. In fact, the quality of audios in these two formats could be similar with the bitrate above 128 Kbps. However, the quality of WMA would be better if the bitrate is lower than 64 Kbps, because MP3 will loss many details like high frequency.
With the low bitrate, file size of audios in WMA and MP3 are similar. For example, 5 minutes WMA audio with 64 Kbps is about 2.6 MB while MP3 with same bitrate is about 2.4 MB. But MP3 has higher compression rate. Like with bitrate of 192 Kbps, file size of WMA is about 10.4 MB while MP3 is 7.2 MB. File size of WMA will rise to about 20.8 MB while the size of MP3 is 12.1 MB with the bitrate of 320 Kbps. So, if you want to save the disk space and get a better quality at the same time, MP3 would be a better choice.
Pros: MP3 could provide a satisfied quality with a suitable bitrate. And the file size is just 1/10 of the lossless audio. Besides, it is with a good compatibility which makes it could be played in almost all players and devices.
Cons: MP3 provides a poorer performance than that of WMA when audios in bitrate lower than 64 Kbps. Also, audio in MP3 can not perform many details in original one.
Pros: Provides better quality and performance with lower bitrate like 64 Kbps than MP3.
Cons: Get a good support in Windows system but poor in other OS and devices.
