Parameters that you need to know about WMA?

Format type: WMA9, WMA8, WMA7. WMA9 are commonly used.

There are five format parameters are available in WMA 9 audio format:

Constant bitrate
The main advantage of Constant bitrate encoding is that the bit rate and size of the encoded stream are known prior to encoding. For example, if you are encoding a three minute song at 32,000 bits per second, you know that the file size will be about 704 kilobytes (32,000 bps x 180 seconds / 8 bits per byte / 1,024). You also know that the bandwidth required to stream the encoded content is about 32,000 bits per second.

2-pass CBR
When you use two-pass encoding, the codec processes all of the samples for the stream twice. On the first pass, the codec gathers information about the content of the stream. On the second pass, the codec uses the information gathered on the first pass to optimize the encoding process for the stream.

Quality based VBR
The first type of VBR encoding is quality-based, which uses one encoding pass. Quality-based VBR encoding enables you to specify a level of quality for a digital media stream instead of a bit rate. The codec will then encode the content so that all samples are of comparable quality.

2-pass VBR
When you use two-pass encoding, the codec will process all of the samples for the stream twice. On the first pass, the codec gathers information about the content of the stream. On the second pass, the codec uses the information gathered on the first pass to optimize the encoding process for the stream.

Lossless audio
This type of conversion compress audio content without quality loss, it means that audio content decompressed from Lossless audio is mathematically identical to original.

Lossless audio, in such a way, is useful for audio CD collection backup, but such a backup may take a lot of your hard drive space.
