there is a website, I forget the site. but It tells how mp3 compresses. Basicaly it takes the sounds it don't think you can hear and eliminates them from the track, then it compresses.

If you ever created a mp3 file and compare it to the original file, You will see that it is lacking in Fidelity unless you add equalization.

a Kma file utilizes the Moicrosoft compression technology of .wma from direct x 9.0 and it compresses the complete file the way it is. compare it to the original file, and it will sound the same without equalization. also for the same playback rate 128bps for instance, the .Kma file is almost Half the size of the mp3.

Which would you prefer?

Hoster is currently for a future release having the mp3+g format added for the oldschool diehards. But I recommend the .Kma files Personally
