Which music format is better – MP3 or WMA?
MP3 files offer the greatest flexibility; they will work on any portable music player (including Apple iPods) and you can burn them to a CD or copy them to a portable player as many times as you like. WMA files are protected by a license that restricts the number of times you can burn or copy them; WMA files do not play on iPods. All music on Tesco Digital is now in MP3 format only but if you have previously purchased WMA files that you wish to convert to MP3, please click here. Please be aware that converting from WMA to MP3 is a one-off process and may not be reversed. Also, due to the higher bit rate of our MP3 tracks, file sizes will be larger. This means that, depending on the model or its capacity, fewer songs may fit on your portable player. Once converted, your new MP3 tracks will replace the WMA versions, which will no longer be available for download. For some WMA tracks there may be no MP3 available, but don’t worry, the WMA versions will remain in your account to be downloa
