even if it could, you don't want to trancode from one lossy,
perceptually-based compression technique to another. the result is
awful.
True. Writing to WAV first can't help that tho. Where WMA can be
played, then there's no need to convert. Where I don't have a WMA
player, then converting is better than no audio at all. Hmm, maybe
I should check out FLAC for this. Thanks....
