:-) WMA files are compressed, and it's lossy compression - you lose something in the signal to get it smaller. Most effects of this are compensated by your ears - but..
If you decompress that signal, you extrapolate information that wasn't there anymore. Burn it to CD, and it's a "so-so" copy of the original. Rip it back and recompress it to MP3, and you now have a mess. You are *again* removing information from the audio stream to get it smaller. Now it can't sound that good.....
Well if my ears can't tell I'm not gonna tell em. WMAs are just as good as MP3s. It's basically the same concept.
