WMA Export Setup

 * Bit Rate: Choose a bit rate from 24 kbps to 576 kbps. The default is 180 kbps. This produces a larger file of higher quality than default 128 kbps MP3 encoding, the general consensus being that WMA v2 and MP3 produce comparable quality for the same file size. Increasing the WMA bit rate will increase the quality further but produce larger files.

WMA version 2 only supports CBR (constant bit rate) encoding. This means that increasing the sample rate in Selection Toolbar will not produce larger files.
