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 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,

  • How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

    How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

    Thanks for your reply but that's not my problem.
    I know that I can burn an M4A file to a CD and then import it back as an MP3, but that's an annoying process and wastes blank CDs.  I thought iTunes had a menu choice to convert a selected file to MP3 format.  I guess that's not true with M4A versions. 
    I will simply buy my music from Amazon from now on and I won't have to deal with this file format and protection nonsense.  I can download music from Amazon in MP3 format as the rest of my music is in.

  • When I try to convert a wav file to an mp3 it only gives me a 6 or 7 second mp3....what am i doing wrong?

    When I try to convert a wav file to an mp3 it only gives me a 6 or 7 second mp3....what am i doing wrong?

    Sorry you are having problems. Can you give an example preferably of some small publicly available file and the site you are trying to download it from ?
    As a simple example of a download (ok it is a .png image file not not a .exe file) but can you try to download a copy of your avtar/icon, as used on these forums. In Windows one method is that you right click & should get an option save. <br/> Mine alongside uses the link
    * https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/avatars/avatar-257447.png
    Are you able to download such an image, then see it in your download manager, and find it on your computer.
    Once you have got Firefox to save your binary file you can use it. In the case of the .exe file you are trying to download that should be usable as intended with your Windows Operating System, the avatar also should be easily opened and viewed.
    P.S.
    You could try installing the add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902/ if you wished to adapt Firefox to run .exe files instead of just save them.

  • How can i convert a .cda file to an mp3 file

    how can i convert a .cda file to an mp3 file

    Actually, CDA only represents a shortcut of audio track. In reality, it does not have any music file in it. That's the reason why you cannot play the files without the original CD in your computer drive. To solve this problem, you'd better convert your CDA files to the most common mp3 format. To know more about how to do that, you can refer to this article, hope it helps!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • How to convert all Caf files to WAV/mp3?

    I have been using Soundtrack pro to edit my audio for videos, but I am going to make the move to Pro Tools. The Apple sound effects and loops are really nice, but pretty much no applications support them. I have been exporting the cafs in Compressor to mp3s, but they are not replacing the old ones and staying in the files that I need them to stay them in for the sake of organization. Is there a way to batch export all of these caf files and RETAIN their location in their specific folders (i.e. animals, Sci-Fi, Foley)?
    If so, please tell me how! Thanks!

    I am not sure about batch converting all your files. But if you want to get them into a Pro Tools session you can send your sequence back to Final Cut and then export an OMF. You can use CAF files in final cut directly and when the OMF is created they make it into Pro Tools fine.

  • Can I convert m4a (AAC) files back to mp3?

    I have like 60 something songs that I want to fit all on one cd and that would definately not happen in AAC so I want to convert each song into mp3.

    Depending on what bitrate you have set the AAC is about the same size as an MP3.
    Do you perhaps have AAC confused with Apple Lossless, which is much larger?
    But anyway, yes you can convert it. Go to iTunes preferences>Advanced (iT6)>importing and set the "import using" to MP3. Click OK
    Now go back and select the song(s) and from the menu bar go advanced>convert to MP3.
    The song will be duplicated, one AAC version and one MP3 version. Delete the one you don't want, or keep both to compare the size difference.
    If your talking about purchased songs, you can't convert them to MP3. You have to burn an audio CD first and then rip it as MP3.
    Just remember that converting a lossy format to another lossy format will reduce the quality. If it is AAC it probably isn't worth converting to MP3 if your only reason for doing so is to save space, because there is not much difference in the two.
