WMA conversion????

[theipodgod16]

i am looking to get a rare techno mix online. Its 15 for a cd or 5 for a download. Problem is, its WMA. (no itunes or ipod). if i download this, can i burn to a cd and then reimport at aac 160kbps? will it sound any different? anyone?

huh? this should be moved to tech

and yes it will be compressed twice then and sound worse

[theipodgod16]

even if i uncompressed it once to burn to a cd?

(BTW, i just clicked on new thread, thats all)

assuming there's no copy management on the WMA, then you can do what you propose.

however, as mactastic pointed out, you won't gain any fidelity. the _best_ you can hope for is that it won't sound any worse.
