Convert to .WMA

My Verizon Wireless LG VX8200 music phone only plays .wma's. Is there a way that I convert .mp3's to .wma's on my mac? Are there any free programs i can use to do this?

I won't disagree, but still...

Did you ever get an answer to your question about converting wma files?
I received some promotional free downloads from a contest and when I downloaded them, they are all wma and I can not get them into my itunes. I click the button that says "convert" when prompted, but then it says it is illegal or something to convert it.

Is there an audible loss of quality when converting from WMA to MP3/AAC?

Just wondering when I convert my WMA files to MP3 or AAC using EasyWMA, iTunes for WIndows, Switch or whatever, will there be an audible loss of quality in the conversion?
Thanks.

There is always an audio quality degradetion while converting a compressed file from one codec to another. It may not be significant for everybody tough.
To avoid this degradation, you should compress your file from the original instead of passing from one codec to another.

Converting a wma file (windows media audio) to a Mp3 file for iTunes.

I copied all of my music from my external harddrive that i have had for a long time now onto my MacBook. Some of the files were wma while most were Mp3. is there anyway that i can convert the files on my mac to make them mp3 and playable on my itunes and put on my nano. I have tried many times to add the songs to my library and then convert them, but they don't appear in my library but they still play when i use quicktime.

The files play in Quicktime likely because you have the Flip4Mac plugin installed. As for iTunes, it doesn't support WMA files, so they won't be imported.
You can try EasyWMA to convert the WMA files to MP3, M4A, or WAV. I have not tried this program, though.
Hope this helps,

Zen Nano Plus won't play MP3, can't convert to WMA, tried new firmw

Help!
I have just reloaded the firmware (and all my music) onto my Zen Nano Plus and it didn't fix my problem.
I have mostly .wma files and they play fine. I have tried to load .mp3 files but my player just skips them. I tried using the Organizer software to convert the .mp3 files to .wma files and it says they are converted but I get about min of each song and that's it.
So I don't know why I can't play .mp3 files and I also don't know why the .mp3's can't be fully converted to .wma's.
Can anyone help?Thanks in advance,Marci

Wave files will only play by tricking the player into thinking that they are wav files created by the voice recorder. Put wav file into a folder called Recorded Tracks and see if it plays. This will at least see if it will play something. How did you transfer your files?Try ripping a CD to wma files using MediaSource or Windows Media Player - sometimes the firmware gets in a twist and will play mp3s but not wmas, or vice versa. The solution to that is to reload the firmware - go to the Support->Downloads link at the top of the page to get the latest firmware for your player. Protected songs (wma files with DRM) need to be transferred using WMP or MediaSource to transfer the license across, but mp3 files can be drag'n'dropped in Windows Explorer. A protected song without a license will give the symptoms you detail. As it's duff from the start you might just want to take it back - but it's worth trying the firmware reload first to save you some bother. PB

I use OverDrive to get audiobooks from my library to listen on my ipod. Does not work since latest update of ipod. Converts the WMA and acts like it is putting it on the ipod but then it isn't there.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.Have yo tried:
- Backing up and restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Go to the OverDrive support site

Does anyone know how I can convert a wma file for a mp3 on a mac powerbook

There is the shareware utility EasyWMA.

Problem converting from wma

Hi I am having trouble converting my old WMA files into itunes. It all started well until it found a track which it said the name was repeated, so it couldn't transfer it. thinking nothing of it I clicked ok and the conerting stopped. Can I override this, as I have lots which are purely saved as "track 1" and how do i restart the converting from WMA??
Thanks

Oh I would love to know this too! Is there a program to get to convert the WMA to MP3.
Here is what I want to do: I have burned a lot of CD's (some I do not own anymore) to my hard dri've on my computer and have put them on my player. I would like to take the WMA files on my computer and convert them to MP3 to make them smaller "files", blank my Creative Jukebox Zen 2.0, and then reload them into the player in the ideal that there will be less "space" taken up from the WMA's. I am thinking this will help in battery life as well as the amount of space on my MP3 player. Anyone know of a good program that can do this? I assume there are no "free" programs to do this, so any suggestions on good ones to purchase within a "decent" amount of money? Or can I just go into any store and pick one up and have it work for files already on my harddri've? I want the smallest MP3 space of each song that I can get without compromising the sound on my MP3.
Thanks!

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.

Cannot Convert protected WMA files

I'm new to iTunes. I have lots of songs I previously downloaded from Dell's MusicMatch. When I attempt to import them I get the error that they are proected WMA files and iTunes cannot convert them. How do I unprotect the files so I can import them? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Yes, you can change it in iTunes prefs.
Also, how do you suggest is the best way to bring songs over - I know if they are protected I need to burn them to a CD but can you drag, etc?
Once you burn them to an audio CD, import it as normal.
You'll probably have to edit the ID3 tags with all the info.

Converting a .WMA file to an MP3 or AIFF

I am using an Olympus DS-30 Digital Voice Recorder to record interviews. The files it creates are .WMA. They will not open in iTunes.
I am trying to find a way I can convert these files into a format that can be used on a Mac.
I am on a G4 and using OSX 10.4.11.
If this is not possible, does anyone know a digital voice recorder that produces Mac-compatible files?
Thank you for any help you may provide!

Converting from WMA to MP3 changes file locations

When I try to import my WMA files into the iTunes library, it converts them to MP3, which is OK, but iTunes "organizes" my music folder in it's own twisted image, even though I have the option "keep iTunes music folder organized" UNCHECKED. Does anyone know how to import WMA files and have them stay in the same place once they've been converted to MP3?

hi Alex!
Does anyone know how to import WMA files and have them stay in the same place once they've been converted to MP3?
just trying to clear something up ... do you have "Copy files to itunes music folder when importing" unchecked too?
love, b

How do I convert old wma files to AACs within iTunes on my Macbook Air?

I just bought a new Macbook Air (converting from a PC), and imported all my music files via external HD to my desktop. From there, iTunes searched the music folder on my Air's desktop and found alot of the files (mp3s) without issue. There are alot of files, however, that are not registering in iTunes (wmas). Is there a way to convert them to AACs on the Mac without having to download extra programs? On my PC, iTunes would offer to switch these files automatically to AAC, but on the Air I'm not receiving this notification nor do I see an option to do so. Please help!

I was just having a very similar problem. I've had my MacBook Air for a few years now and I haven't had any trouble.
My mom just recently sent me recordings of an old CD I used to listen to--they are wma files. I have flip4mac and quicktime, so I can play them no problem. However, I can't add them to my iTunes library and I can't add it to my iPhone playlist. I tried duplicating and saving the quicktime file as an iTunes audio format, and I tried exporting to iTunes, but it keeps saying "Cannot Open This Media may be damaged."
I used the Switch converter, and was able to add it to my iTunes Library after converting. Lucky for me, I only had to convert 12 songs. Really good app, thanks!

Transferring/Converting Protected WMAs

I purchased the new Natasha Bedingfield CD today. It has some write-protection on it that only allows me to upload it as a wma or atrac format. It made me close itunes in order to upload it. I tried but was unable to convert the uploaded WMAs into MP3 format via itunes for my ipod. This is bullcrap--I'm not doing anything illegal but I can't upload a this new CD that I bought onto my ipod. Anyone have any ideas how I can get these songs onto my ipod?

This problem is going to get worse before it gets better - if it does get better. I began thinking about this issue some months ago and decided on this strategy. I've written two form letters to send to artists and their label. One thanks the group for releasing a CD which does not contain DRM along with my promise to not share the contents of the CD. The other informs the artist that as a result of their releasing a CD which contains DRM I have not bought the CD and that I will not attend their concerts or in any other way support the group until they stop supporting DRM. A single voice in this fight means nothing but if large numbers of us take up this fight it might be affective.
It has been my experience that the DRM methods currently used are less than perfect - that is putting it mildly. Thus far I've been able to rip new CDs, including the new Dave Matthews Band and Coldplay on my Mac as well as my PC (running Linux). As a short term solution you may wish to invest in some Linux distro or find someone who owns a Mac.
