Convert wma to mp3 mac
How do I convert a wma to an mp3 for my mac in itunes.
Yup, just as Niel said, you could use a switch product, such as iFunia AudioConverter, the one I saw in Mac App Store.

Converting WMA to MP3 files - struggling
Bckground info - compaq presario laptop (3-4 years old)
Problem experienced - is trying to convert WMA to MP3 files to transfer to flash drive for use through he usb port in my audio amp. Can't find a means in WMP and struggled with Winff and Jodix, neither of which seem to want to transfer the files once identified. Any safe suggestions. (just downloaded a load of dross from Google in a search for Jodix amongst which was something called YAC which was most reluctant to uninstall).iTunes cannot use wma files so it needs to convert them.
They will not get added to iTunes until they are converted so you cannot choose to convert them later.
I noticed I cannot load additional WMA files during the conversion process. I have to wait until the process is complete before loading more files.
Why not add them all at once?
File -> *Add folder to library* and pick the top level folder where the wma files are. -
Convert wma into mp3 ?!?
Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me : I know that easy WMA is able to convert WMA songs into mp3, but since I Have upgraded my OS to the Tiger version ( 10.4.4 ) this nice application doesn't work anymore. Is there anyone who knows a good free program that will allowed me to convert WMA songs into MP3 ?
Thanks in advance

Keep my albums after converting WMA to MP3
First I apologize if there are have been similar questions. I tried to search for this.
I have several wma from my old PC. I would like to organize and use through itunes. So I have used a free program called "Switch" to convert my WMA to MP3.
On the PC, they were automatically organized by album and included the artwork - when I ripped my cd's.
However, after I converted an album, and imported to iTunes, all I got were the MP3's. They don't organize by album or even have the artwork.
Is there any way to do this? Is it my converting software that's not doing the job? Is it iTunes? Or do I have to do this?
Thanks!

Converting WMA to MP3: Controlling When Conversion Takes Place?
Hello. I have a 4GB Nano.
When I load a few WMA files into the iTunes software library, I am immediately asked whether to convert them, or skip them. I choose Convert.
However, I noticed I cannot load additional WMA files during the conversion process. I have to wait until the process is complete before loading more files.
I'd like to know if there is a way to configure iTunes so I can fully load all of my WMA files into the library at once, instead of a few at a time, and choose when I want the conversion to take place.
This isn't an absolutely critical question, because I have db Power Amp and can convert files from WMA to MP3 at my leisure. I just want to know if iTunes can be controlled in this way.
Thank you!

Recommendations for converting wma to mp3
Importing music into iTunes does not work with wma files. Is the best way to convert them to mp3? If so, any recommendations for an app? Thanks!
It's in the AppStore. That's where I got it.
One caviat. You CAN'T drag & drop files onto it to add them, you MUST use the "add" option, or it'll add the files multiple times. I had to learn that the hard way. Otherwise, it's fast and thorough. -
I have 2600 songs on my hard drive. They are all WMA. I would like to use iTunes, but would like to convert all my music to MP3 to play in iTunes (and transfer with iPod). Can iTunes do this, or will I have to do it the hard way?
ThanksI have the files on my external HD as well (as backup). So I can set iTunes to read from that Music folder and point to a new itunes folder, and set the advanced settings to convert to MP3. So then I'd have a mirror (sorta) between my WMA and MP3 folders (with exception of DRM stuff).

How to convert wma to mp3 in my iMac
I AM TRYING TO CONVERT SOME MUSIC THAT IT IS IN WMA FORMAT TO MP3. DOES ANYBODY KNOWS IF I COULD DO THIS USING MY IMAC?
Take a look at this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Audio
In particular, towards the bottom about encoders and DRM. So, if yours is using DRM, you can't copy/convert it.
P.S. And, please, refrain from typing in all caps - that is generally considered shouting. -
Possible to convert WMA to MP3 in MedEnc. CS6 and preserve tags?
The file conversion currently strips out all tags apart from the song title - is there any way to preserve these in the conversion?
Not that I'm aware of. You might try dBpoweramp Music Converter.

Best WMA to MP3 batch converter for MacBook Pro
Half of the music that I've collected over the years, and now transferred onto my new MacBook Pro, is in the WMA format.
I am looking for a program that can batch convert ALL of these files to MP3, putting the MP3s in the same folders as the WMA files currently are, and then I will delete the WMA files.
Is there any program that can help me with this? At the moment I can only listen to half of my songs in iTunes!
Many thanksEasyWMA is a popular one for the Mac. Switch can also do it.
Or, if you happen to have access to a PC, iTunes for Windows can convert WMA to MP3, after which you can bring the MP3 files to your Mac on a flash drive..
then I will delete the WMA files.
It's about time.
Steve - one additional note: Make sure your files are normal unprotected WMA files, since protected WMA cannot be converted. Protected WMAs could have happened if you ever ripped a CD using the default settings of Windows Media Player, or if you ever bought tracks from one of the many (now-defunct) online stores that sold songs in protected WMA format. -

Wait- I thought that MP3 files were smaller than WMA files? Is that not correct?
Nope, it's not correct and this is a common misunderstanding. For the same bit-rate MP3 and WMA have pretty much the same file size. What is different though is at lower bit-rates (around say 64 kbit/s) WMA seems to give better sound quality than a similar bit-rate MP3. Whereas at higher bit-rates (around say 92 kbit/s and higher) MP3 seems to give better sound quality than a similar bit-rate WMA. Some people will dispute this though, which is why it's always better to listen for yourself.
I do care about quality as long as it doesn't sound like I recorded it off the radio but for the most part I want to make sure that my files on my player aren't larger than they have to be--to open more space and also make the player work less hard therefore (I hope) extending the battery life. I suppose I could always blank my MP3 (Creative Jukebox Zen 2.0) and just start over and put in only the songs that I really really want and see if the battery life lasts longer but my main concern is doing all I can to make my playback time increase.
The number of files on the player DOES NOT affect the battery life, which is often another misconception. What does affect the battery life is the bit-rate of the files as you play them. You can see the difference from my battery curve thread, but it isn't as dramatic as you might think.
As before, make sure you create some test files and listen for yourself. Trust your own ears as to what sounds best to you. -
