WMA 9.1 vs WMA 2 codec - bye bye WMA

I thinking why Microsoft destroy sound quality in new (after) WMA V2
codecs...Song listen at 64 Kb/s in WMA 2 sound good almost very good but if
You encode song in Windows Media Player 10 at (coded WMA 9.1 64 Kb/s CBR)
then you give sound poor quality muffled :\ crap.
Now songs encode in in Windows Media Player 10 WMA 9.1 at 128 Kb/s CBR
sounds like MP3 128 Kb/s so WMA 9 is not better than MP3 but give the same
quality.
I dont use VBR option because even in new VBR 50 WMA 9.1 when i have songs
about 110 Kb/s then sounds worse than MP3 at 128 Kb/s. SO I must encode songs
at 128 Kb/s in WMA 9.1 so bye WMA - better choice MP3 because is more
flexible.
Windows Media Team must write new codec not cutting highest frequency - WMA
9 Series gives the same sound quality like MP3... and Microsoft claims that
WMA 9 gives the same quality at half size MP3... oh my good at half size
gives quality like old radio - muffled

 

I didn't really follow all of that (mostly b/c I don't follow WMA), but WMA
Std. sucks, always has. WMA Pro is where it is at in terms of best sound
quality.

 

How to make WMP10 encode in wma PRO? AFAIK, WMA VBR is not PRO.

Thanks,
Sergei.

 

go to www.dbpoweramp.com and download dbpoweramp music converter
next go to codec central and download WMA 9 Series codec and rip CD into WMA
Pro , Voice, Standard - i like only WMA Pro in 64 Kb/s gives very very
good audio quality - Standard Sucks

 

I know I can do it with WM Encoder. I thought there is a way to encode in
PRO by WMP10.

 

I wanted them to include it, but its just not supported enough to make it
worth adding. Plus, it would confuse the basic WMP user when they get to
choose from WMA, WMA Pro, WMA Lossless, WMA VB, and MP3.
