You may want to test a few to see if your ears can tell the difference.
Transcode a few mp3s to wma, then encode the same tracks to wma from the
source CD. Then compare.
Personally, I would never transcode anything lower than 192kbps. Some would
never transcode, period!
But your own ears should be the ulimate judge.
