Windows Media Player file TYPES

[Da Mail Man]

greetings,
I converted an mp3 music file (approx 3.5 mb's) to a wave file which increased the NEW wave file siize to maybe 3x's it's mp3 size.

In windows media player and the types of files supported therein, what file type will be as close to the ORIGINAL mp3 file size or SMALLER *excluding files supported in real player.

I'm guessing .wma, but what exactly is it that you are trying to do? Are you looking to rip music from a cd? Are you planning on playing these files on a portable music player? Is file size more important or sound quality? What Kbps rate does your original mp3 file have (because that will also affect file size)?
