We don't know mp3 because it would have cost a few extra dollars to tack on to windows xp, but we prefer wma.
"Microsoft dropped the MP3 ripping capability from Windows XP because it was not worth adding a few dollars to Windows XP's price tag to license the technology from Thomson Multimedia, said David Caulton, Windows digital media product manager in Redmond, Wash." |
