This IS the problem. If done correctly, there should be no difference
in volume. Therefore, something about the way you are encoding WMA is
changing the volume. THAT is why is sounds "better". Actually, as
pointed out above, louder is pyschologically interpreted as better by
our ears, and it only takes a very slight difference (~1.5 dB) to
perceive this effect. Unless you figure out how to volume match, or
correct your WMA files, you cannot claim they sound "better". It's
simply not doing a correct comparison.
