Its cd quality MPEG II layer 3 is a published (though strictly, not free) format - 128kbs is fine for most music but it will usually cut the high frequency to 14kHz at that bitrate - you will be fine with 384kHz though even for the most delicate of orchestral or opera. (Mine is all recorded at 128kbs). I don't know wma - is this the windows music format? If so, avoid like the plague - the last thing we need is another proprietary file format. On philosphical grounds, I'd probably use Ogg Vorbis if I were ripping today.
