Compressing Audio Files Using WMA Encoder

(available when DART WMA encoder is installed)

WMA encoder allows you to save space when storing or transmitting audio files.

To save audio files in a compressed WMA format:

1. Select the wave files for processing among those listed in the File Panel (if you select several files, all of them will be processed); to see wave files in the File panel window set the File type specification to All files, Wave files or Soundfiles.

2. Evoke the Encode files dialog by pressing the ENCODE FILES button situated on the toolbar or by choosing the Encode files command from the List menu.

3. Choose the ‘WMA encoder’ from the list of encoding modules.

4. Click the Settings button to evoke the Encoding parameters dialog. Select compression parameters (Quality and Bitrate). To choose standard ‘quality encoding’ settings press the Default button.

5. Select the directory and/or the names of the WMA files where the results will be saved. If several wave files are scheduled for compression their original names will be retained – only the extensions will change from ‘wav’ to ‘wma’.

6. Press Process to start encoding
