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.

  • 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.

  • Mass convert WMA to MP3

    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?
    Thanks

    I 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).

  • 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.

  • 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!
    Dan

  • I used to be able to convert songs to mp3 files, but dont see how to do it now

    There used to be a place at the top of one's iTune Library where you could convert files to mp3's.  I have changed computers and in the new iTunes download, I don't see it.  Is there not a way to do that now?  Not giving additional information about my Apple products because they are irrelevant to this question.  I am using a Windows 8 system

    I guess you can search the internet for audio converter to convert songs to mp3. There are many audio conversion software in the market. You can search the keywords on Google for it easily. Most are able to do audio conversion between various audio file formats as well as to extract audio tracks from videos. Just for your reference. If your iTunes works, I guess it can meet your needs.

  • Convert AAC into mp3 files?

    Hi all my music is in i tunes and I want to put some onto a 2 gb memory stick so that I can play it in my cay unfortuantly it only accepts MP3 files does any one know how I convert them .
    Many Thanks

    Yes. When you convert them to MP3s the original AAC versions will still be in your library as well.  Anyways, once they have been converrted, locate these newly converted tracks on your HD and copy them over to the memory stick.

  • 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.
