WMA is a second-generation compressed audio format.
From the "File" menu, select "Mix Down To" and then select "WMA File…" from the submenu. Pick a name for your new WMA file. ( If you are going to be saving multiple WMA files for each CD Track Marker, this name will be the base name. )
After a name or base name is chosen, you need to set up extra parameters for the WMA file. Once all the settings are made, click the Save button to render the session to a WMA file. After it is finished, it will play the sound back via your default WMA player.
o Destination File Size - This is a helpful indicator that estimates how big the destination file size is going to be.
o Render All/Selection - The default is to render the entire session. However, you can also render the current selection. You might choose to render the selection if you want to hear how it sounds under a certain compression. (You wouldn’t have to render the entire session which could take a while depending on the length of the session.)
o Preset Quality - Adjust the slider and choose one of the presets to set the desired MP3 quality.
The possible settings are:

o Create Separate WMA File For Each CD Marker? - This option will be enabled if you have more than 1 CD Track Marker. If you select this option, Mixcraft will create a WMA file for each section of audio. More on track markers
