Free wma to mp3 convertor soft ware.

I recorded a c.d. with a bunch of friends on a home recording studio....sent my friend off across country with the only copy and he sent it to me via instant messenger and they were wma files. iTunes wont convert them...ignores them actually and Quicktime wont open them either. Ive found free demos but they arent working.

If the WMA files are "unprotected", iTunes can convert them when you add them to your library. It should do this automatically.
See: How to add songs from your hard drive to iTunes.
If not, see: How to convert a song to a different format using iTunes.
However, iTunes cannot convert "protected" WMA files.
The only way to convert these files would be to burn them to an "audio" cd and import that into iTunes as you would any other cd.

  • Spotify is hijacked by free youtube to mp3 convertor when it tries to update and re open

    I have been having this problem for a few weeks now. The only solution is to uninstall spotify and re-install it. This would cure the problem for a few days but now it will not even cure it for a few minutes. If I reboot windows and open up Spotify the DVDsoftware takes over. I had this software on my computer once but deleted it and thought I had erased all traces of it. 

    Hello: Any idea what the full name of the third party DVD software was? Some of those programs are just bloatware and packed full of spyware, and malware, they often are designed to recopy themselves when the system is trying to remove and delete the program. There are a few programs that might help get you going and remove this stuff, but you have to be able to read through the help set up information, so you do not mess up your system. You can get malwarebytes that takes care of a good chunk of nasties like this. I use a third party cleaner tool to find left over traces of stuff in the system registry, and temp folders, and things that get scattered around the HD file system by software installs, the third party program is called Glary Utilities, some people use CCleaner as well and have better results. All I can say is good luck, things like this is a royal pain.

  • 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!

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. The Adobe Staff and PRE_help presence in this forum is undefined.
    The replies from here are not instantaneous. But, your fellow users all try to respond as timely as possible.
    What is your computer operating system?
    From where are you downloading Premiere Elements 13....direct from Adobe as the tryout or the purchased product? If the purchased product, do you now have a purchased serial number to go with the installation files?
    Where are you stopped in the installation....at the Sign In or before? Is the faulting module cited in any messages? What are the error messages?
    The usual questions:
    1. Are you working with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you running the computer programs as administrator?
    3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    5. Are you installing the program to the default location on the Local Disc C (if Windows).
    Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details that you post. Subsequent troubleshooting may include:
    deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and/or uninstall, free ccleaner run through, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • WMA v MP3 format - advice please

    WMA v MP3 format - advice pleaseT I have a Zen Vision M and previously had a Zen Touch.
    I have always used WMA format when ripping CD's as it is the default setting in Media Player, which is my preferred program. The rest of my family have gone over to the "dark side" (!)?and have iPod's and the iPlayer uses MP3 format as its default. My husband who used to have a Zen Touch, is very smug about how much less space what used to almost fill his Zen now takes in his?iPod.
    So, I now have very little room left on my 60 GB and was wondering about converting everything into MP3 format to make more space, but seem to remember being told?once about MP3 format being poorer quality?
    I'd be grateful for any comments/advice on the following:
    - Is converting everything worth the effort and will it actually take less space?
    - Is MP3 better/worse quality, is there any difference anymore?
    - Are MP3 files ok on the Zen?
    - I understand I'll need conversion software - any recommendations?
    Thank you for your help!

    This has been a "raging" discussion for years and years! Here's my take (long time digital music user):
    WMA is far better for low bitrate (under 28kbs). 28 kbs is nowhere near "cd quality" in ANY format (wma, mp3, acc). 92kbs is good quality in all formats. Audiophiles (picky listeners) will insist on Ogg Vorbis (?), Lossless wma, etc. files no matter what. I can't tell the difference between aac, wma or mp3 at 92kbs or above. I listen to compressed files on a portable player or in a car (or worse...on a motorcycle). The background noise is usually enough and earphones/speakers poor enough that it really does not make a huge difference what format (or often what bitrate) you use in these instances.
    Here's what I've been doing; rip to mp3 92kbs VBR--good quality, reasonable file size. Transfer to my Zen(s) using WMP. I set the player options to re-code files to 64kbs wma files for the Zen(s). Max number of songs that way, small file size, good battery life (wma uses more power than mp3 AT THE SAME BITRATE--but at 64kbs is uses LESS power than a higher bitrate mp3--you'll notice longer battery life).
    Many may cringe at my 64kbs wma choice (except Microsoft, who claim this sounds "cd quality" ---NOT). For me, it sounds good enough for a portable copy, but NOT my main copy. WMP will automatically recode these for you on the fly and not clutter up your hard dri've with multiple copies of the same song. It also only puts the 64kps file on your Zen and leaves the better copy (in my case, my 92kbs mp3 file) intact. I now rip to mp3 because it is the defacto default format for everything.
    This is just what I've been doing. I tried a lot of different things before, but my latest system seems to work fine.
    Note: Most of the new "DRM Free" mp3 downloads are 256kbs mp3. They sound great. Honestly, I cannot tell the difference in nearly all cases from a 92kbs mp3 file, but on a good stereo I'm sure there are those who can. I really never listen to mp3 files? on my good stereo. I have REAL cds (and even a bunch of "super audio cds" ) for that.

    Hello Kewal,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to perform an update.  I recommend trying to update using iTunes, and as always, it is a good idea to make a backup first.

    You don't want to install the software that came with the drive, you don't need it and it will be problematic. Connect the new drive, open Disk Utility, select the new drive and partition it using the GUID partition scheme, then format it as Mac OS extended journaled and it will be easy to use with your Mac.

    Well, it appears that your backup is corrupt, thus causing your issue. So, you'll have to restore as a new device, & not from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone:

  • Wma to mp3 converter

    I downloaded a conversion program "wma to mp3 converter" to be able to listen to wma music files in my computer. However when I click on the file, just the programmers' codes appear, nothing else. How can I activate the converter program? That is, how can I see the converter's window so that I can drag my wma files into it for conversion into mp3 format? Thanks

  • 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 thanks

    EasyWMA 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.
