Can I quickly convert WMA to AAC?

I am converting wma to aac and i am having to convert one song at a time. Is there anyway to select and convert an entire cd without having to convert each individual song? This is beating me down...

Click on the first track in the list and then while holding down the shift key click on the last one. This will highlight the selection, go to Advanced>Convert selection to AAC and it will do them all in turn.

  • I know how to convert WMA to AAC/MP3 for Itunes

    I'm not sure if someone else has figured this out or not, but I figured out how to convert WMA files to AAC or MP3 for Itunes. First open the file using Quicktime. I think you need the Flip4Mac program. I'm not sure and you also need Quicktime pro. Choose Save. Select standalone movie. Choose location. It will convert song to movie, then import all your movies you selected. Organize Itunes by "Kind". Select all of your new movies files. Choose Advanced and convert to your appropriate file type.
    I looked for a while and couldn't find a good way to change wma to aac. This takes a little bit, but it works. What do you think? It works for me.

    Or, as has been pointed out in numerous posts, you can use EasyWMA.

  • Can I pause convert WMA?

    Im trying to convert a large amount of wma files into itunes. Over 21,000 files about 80 Gigs. Ive had Itunes cranking away on it for almost 48 hours now- it averaging about 158 files an hour. At this rate Id have to leave my computer going doing nothing else for a week!
    Is there a way to pause or stop the convert wma without iTunes loosing its place? Im worried that if I stop it, when I go to restart it will just find all the WMA files and start all over again, making duplicates of what t has done so far. And with so many files it would take me forever to figure out which ones were already converted to remove them from the folder before starting up again. (see the problem). Does iTunes keep the "Convert to WMA.." playlist if I stop it, so I can restart where im at?? Id like to let it finish all the conversion eventually, then I know all the files are done and can just archive the folder of wma's.
    Or- is there a good easy way to stop it and figure out which files are done so I can grab just the ones that still need conversion latter??
    (just to complicate things- I also had a lot of mp3 and acc files- about another 80 gigs - so its not like i can just look at the library to know which came from wma's)
    Any help greatly aprreciated.

    When iTunes converts a WMA, it creates a library entry for the converted file, but has no record of that WMA, and if it meets it again will start the conversion again.
    All the conversion programs I have used do the conversions serially, i.e. one at a time, so it is not clear that another one would be faster.

  • Importing and converting WMA to AAC error

    I am trying to convert my music files and import to itunes.
    When I attempt to bulk transfer I get an error with one track and the entire process stops. When I retry that track individually it does not produce an error.
    Why does itunes stop the entire process for the one track that produced the error. Can I somehow reconfigure itunes to skip tracks with errors and continue converting and importing the rest of the tracks. It has become a timely process but it is going to get much worse if I have to do each track individually.
    If Windows media player encounters a problem it skips the track and contiues with the remaining tracks.
    Not a glowing start for my apple experience.
    Thanks in advance for any help that is given

  • HT1473 I get a message the songs are in wma format and iTunes will convert them to AAC format - do I select Convert or Skip?

    I get a message the songs are in wma format and iTunes will convert them to AAC format - do I select Convert or Skip. I ripped new CDs I bought using Windows Media Player and they are saved on my C drive. I have done this before but cannot do it now.

    If you want to play them in iTunes, choose "Convert."  This will allow iTunes to create new AAC versions and add those new versions to your iTunes library.
    The original WMA files will still be in the folder(s) wherever they currently are.  iTunes will ignore the WMAs once it has the converted versions.  It is then up to you if you wish to keep or delete your WMA origninals.

  • Can't convert mp3s to AAC anymore?

    I just updated my iTunes to the latest version. Now for some reason I can no longer convert my mp3s to Apple Lossless AAC. Is it just me?

    Where are you looking for the command to convert? Highlight the songs you want to convert and go to the Advanced menu at the top of your iTunes window and choose "Create Apple Lossless version": iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
    By the way, why are you creating Lossless versions of MP3s? You do realise that MP3 is a lossy format and information is discarded when the MP3 is created, changing that to a lossless format doesn't add any information back into the file, you just end up with a larger file of the same quality.

    Correct. Dragging the MP3s into iTunes adds them to your iTunes library. Once they are in your library, you can add them to a playlist. When you have your playlist in the right sequence, click on File > Burn Playlist to Disc.

  • How to convert wma in iTunes for MAC to mp3

    The iTunes support manual mysteriously indicates that iTunes for MAC can convert WMA files to other formats, but doesn't tell me how! How do I convert the WMA files to mp3? When I google, I keep getting links to other sites and I'm not sure how to pick a trusted site.
    iTunes 11 for Mac: WMA
    Windows Media Audio; a digital audio file format created by Microsoft. iTunes can convert WMA files to other formats.

    Peabody, for me, Adapter is the ticket, and a free one at that. Quick, easy to use, nice interface and very flexible in terms of formats, destinations, etc. Also converts video. Been using it for a month and love it.

  • Wma to aac

    Made the switch to mac and need to convert wma from media player to aac for itunes. Would it be better to use a third party software or just install itunes on my old pc, convert them there, then move them over? What I'm asking, is, do I lose anything or gain anything depending on which way I go?

    OK heres my official results.
    The VBR files are slightly larger. However, there's a chime I notice in the background of one of the songs and it gets cut off faster on the non-VBR. The VBR file is indistinguishable from the WMA.
    Though the WMAs are not professional quality (they are made from a friend's band) you can notice all the imperfections on both files. The 192VBR is indistinguishable for my ears and so it will be the format I choose. Even Apple believes in lossy formats just look at iTunes. (Granted its from a non-compressed source to begin with)
    I've done to test with 2 different WMAs, one upbeat and the other slow. The results were the same. I also performed the test both on headphones and a surround sound unit.

  • Converting wma  for use in itunes

    How can I convert wma file so that I can use them in Itunes. Thanks

    If it is in your library and it is an AAC, then not obvious why it won't play.
    Right-click the library entry again, choose Show in Windows Explorer, find the file icon, right-click the file icon, and choose Open With. Is iTunes one of the choices? If so, choose it and see what happens.
    Also, in your library, can you verify that the duration (time) and file size of the song look right?

  • I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format on Lion

    I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format; with Snow Leopard, I could do that using iTunes, but since upgrading to Lion, I can convert the files to a .mov format in Quick Time, but cannot move the file into iTunes in order to convert it to .MP3. If you can suggest a work-around or an app that will work with Lion, would be much appreciated.

    Haven't used it myself, but worth a look http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27103/all2mp3

  • Can I import (MUSIC.wma) in my iTunes Library, for my iPod?

    Can I import (MUSIC.wma) into iTunes for an iPod Touch? I know somethinig about formating that may just ignore the import, see my grandmother had got an iPod, and she not only want's her CD's on it, she just wan'ts to know if she can play her windows music collection, with the extention .wma  into iTunes . . . if any of you all know if it's possible without having to use any particular third party application please feel free to answer . . 

    I think so.  iTunes' help says that iTunes can convert WMA files to other formats. The iPod supports:
    Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
