WOW, a link to Google. Cool, never seen that before. And what
is the result we should find on that? For example my first
result is http://www.focussoft.net/webadd/FreeCDRipper.html
with this information inside: "VBR Support: You can set the
VBR Information to MP3 file." Nothing about WMA VBR. Helpful.
Next one offers "free trial", "MP3 VBR" and so on.

What is the other way you're offering?

I don't have an answer myself (I even wonder why anyone wants
to encode to WMA), but just a link to Google is stupid.

Maybe he should try Exact Audio Copy, this offers to add your
own command line parameters with "Microsoft WMA9".

Now I used Google to provide this:

I don't know more details on this...
