Yes and no.
It's all an issue of "bitrate". A WMA at 128 will be the same size as an
MP3 at 128. A WMA at 64kbps will be half the size of an MP3 at 128kbps.
A WMA at 96kbps will be three-quarters the size of an MP3 at 128kbps.
WMA performs better at low bitrates than MP3 does. So if you're going to
use WMA at all, you might as well be using it at 48kbps or 64kbps.
Higher than that, and you might as well use MP3 because it performs
equal or better.
