.wma is Windows Media- sounds better than mp3 at the same file size- .mp3
really kills the high end IMO
If you have a method for playing .wma files on a Mac please let me know- 
I'd
like to pass it along to my Mac friends-

I'm not familiar with the mpeg4 formats you mention- I'll have to check 
that
out- I use QT occasionally but have never encoded using it.

As for the .ogg format- it can be played in WinAmp as I understand it- it
does not necessarily require a new player- I am going to see haow that 
codec
sounds when i get a chance-
