obviously you havent looked at the site, or are lacking
the understanding of how their site works...

allofmp3 does the encoding at the site, from sources on
their server. (not all files, but many of the ones I
DL'd).

Encoding to MP3 uses Lame (or Blade) codecs, and WMA
you can encode WMA 8 or 9.

These are standard codecs.

Therefore (as I stated before) the problem appears to be with encoding to WMA on their end. Which shouldnt be an issue, given
they are using the Microsoft codecs to encode them.

Now if they arent going to support properly encoding to WMA,
then dont offer it, and charge people for crappy downloads.
