If saving takes a very long time and the resulting file is empty, the original file may be using an encoding mode not supported by
GoldWave. Use File | Save As to save the file under the WMA type using
different attributes.
Make sure a recent version of Windows Media Player is installed. That will install encoder modules that GoldWave needs.
Make sure the WMAFile.PIG module is installed in the GoldWave File subfolder and that it is enabled under the Options | File Formats
"File Plug-in Precedence" tab.
