best method of wma audio file conversion for iTunes/iphones

Fazel,
As you know, iTunes for Mac is not capable of processing WMA files. The two best choices are:
Get access (even temporarily) to iTunes for Windows. It can convert your WMA files to the format indicated in import preferences. Use a USB flash drive to copy the files back to your Mac.
Use a 3rd party conversion program. The one most preferred by Mac users is EasyWMA.
In either case, once you have the converted files, add them to your iTunes library. Then delete the WMA originals.

How do I convert a .wma Audio file from a pc to .mp3 for itunes on a mac

I downloaded music from my PC laptop into an external drive. When I connected the external drive to the mac, the .wma Audio files from the PC will not transfer to iTunes on the Mac.
Thanks for any help.

iTunes on the PC will convert wma. iTunes on a Mac won't.
On your PC, add the wma files to iTunes.
iTunes will convert to whatever you have set in iTunes prefs > General - Import settings.
Then copy the imported files to the external then File > Add to library on the Mac.

QuickTime: can't move to a specific point when playing .WMA audio files

I use a lot of .WMA audio files recorded on my Olympus Digital Voice recorder. Since the latest update of QuickTime I cannot move to a specific point in a file. When I click and drag on the diamond cursor it won't move. The only way to move through the file is to play it or 'fast' forward it - which takes ages.

I have the same problem. when playing wma or wmv file, simply just cannot drag the progress bar to a specific position. Just have to progress from the very beginning to the end. Once it has been played to the end, I can move the progress bar. Very weird
I have both flip4Mac and perian installed with the latest version.
Could anybody please help.
cheers

What is the best method to remove personal data from the 24" iMac?

Use setup assistant which is offered when you setup your new Mac. It will transfer information from a Time Machine backup, Clone or another Mac.
It's best to do this during setup to avoid issues with duplicate IDs.

How do I get a 3ga audio file to play on iphone 4s?

How do I get a 3ga audio file to play on iphone
4s?

You don't need to download an App.
My understanding is that you simply have to change the file extension from .3ga to.mp3 (on each file) and then they should play.
That said, it works on a Macbook Pro - I've just tried it.
Not sure about iOS though.
Please reply if it works for you.

How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD). More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder). Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button. Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version." You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding. Hopefully your phone will play that.

PPT 2013 Conversion: WMA Audio Files

Hello-
I do a number of narrated PowerPoint conversions into SWF-created Captivate files. With the recent upgrade to PowerPoint 2013 for Microsoft PCs, I've noticed that the narrated audio is no longer being converted on Captivate's end because it is WMA format. Do you know of any setting within PowerPoint 2013 or Captivate that will allow WMA files to be allowed or converted to a whitelisted format?
Thanks,
~Kyle~

Hello Kyle,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
I am afraid that you can only insert audio files with .wav and.mp3 extensions .
If you want to insert your .wma format files you can use Adobe Media Encoder to convert it to mp3 or .wav.
Adobe Media Encoder gets installed with Captivate.
Thanks and Regards

WMA audio files can only placed in audio track 8 for some reason

Using CS3. The only other audio tracks that have any files in them are tracks 1 through 3 . The WMA files in track 8 were recorded from a small digital recorder.
Every other audio file..... mp3 and the captured mpeg's audio portion.... can go in any audio track.
Why are these WMA files not able to be placed in the other tracks?

Per Harm's comment, you can look at the Audio Track Header for the little "speaker" icons for each Track: one speaker = mono, two speakers = stereo, and "5.1" = a 5.1 Audio Track.
If you set up your Project/Sequence with the required Audio Track types for your Assets, you can have your mono, or 5.1 Audio Tracks almost anywhere you want, and can also change the name, from say "Audio 1" to "SFX_Mono_01."
Also, if you have a bunch of unused Audio (or Video) Tracks, you can Delete those, or can create new ones, about wherever you wish. If you do not have the proper type of Audio Track created, PrPro will create a new one, of the proper type, for you. Just drag your Asset to below the Master, and boom! a new proper Track will appear, with the Clip in it.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I transfer a WMA audio file with DRM into iTunes?

Is it possible to transfer a DRM, WMA audio lecture file that I download onto my Dell Inspirion laptop into iTunes? I can purchase and download the file using Windows Media. My goal is to get the audio file onto an iPod Nano. The organization that sells these lectures does not support Macintosh at this time and is only supporting Windows based machines.
The Dell laptop uses Windows XP as its operating system.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Use ITunes on Dell Inspirio w/Windows XP

If I understand you correctly, first I burn the file onto a CD using Windows Media Player, then I can import it (rip the file?) into iTunes. After this I could download the file to my Nano.
I want to make sure I know what you meant by "rip the file" into iTunes.
Thank you for your help,

Best way to update audio files in library

I have quite a few audio files in the library for a Captivate project. I just modifed a bunch of them, and I am wondering the best way to update the library.
If I delete the files in the library, I lose all the links to which audio went with which slide.
If I go into each slide and replace the audio, that is more time consuming, and still a problem when the old audio file is still in the library
I don't see an option for directly replacing the audio in the library; if I put the new version (same name) it just adds it with a (2), i.e. audioclip and audioclip(2)
The update option does not give me what I need, unless I am missing something. First of all, I am using both a Windows computer at the client site, and my own Mac, so the paths are different. To use the update I would have to update the path for each audio file, which is more trouble that updating every file manually.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi there,
The recommended way is to go to that slide and import the slide audio again, new audio will replcae the old.
Once you have replaced all the audios, the audio files that are not in use in the project will still show up in Library.
You can get rid of all unused items from the library, by clicking on the icon for unused icon and then delete icon:
Thanks.

Best Video File Type For iTunes and Xbox360

I have an extensive digital library and I am trying to have one file for all devices.
What I am looking to do is to have one file that can be managed by iTunes, play on my iPhone and stream to my xbox360 via Connect360 and look good. File size is not a concern. I dont want to do multiple encodes.
The important features are one file playable by iPhone and Xbox360 via Connect360 that can be managed by iTunes. I would like the video to be of very high visual / audio quality.
I use handbrake to convert video files.
My question is, what is the best file type for this scenario? I have used mv4 but more recently I am using MP4 with 264...
Again, one file to rule them all....
Thank you in advance!

Old thread for others, but,,... It isnt necessary to convert a bunch of files, if you have Plex on your pc, and on your iphone/ipad.
I would have spent a month converting the terra bytes of all the video files that I had but i just airplay and my Plex app to send nearly any type of file on my Imac directly to my Apple tv.
It converts on the fly any file that isnt supported.
