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

  • 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 ?!?

  • 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!

  • Each time i try to import an album, or convert wma files itunes slows down and eventually stops importing. Does anyone know why this is?

    I have been trying to import albums onto my itunes, it uploads the first few songs quickly then gradually gets slower and slower. I have also been trying to convert wma music files that already exist in my music folder and the same thing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have googled it and followed advice but nothing seems to work!

  • 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).

  • Garageband volume problem after converting project into mp3 formats

    Every time after I convert my music project into MP3 by clicking "send song to i-tune" in GarageBand, the volume of the music always come out to be softer than the original project before its been converted. Is there something I could do to fix that or to boost up the volume after I convert it?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Missing albums after converting catalog from PSE 6 to PSE 7

    Images converted with no problem but all albums are missing from the album list. is their another step or process in converting the albums?
    thanks

    I lost my primary hard drive where PSE 6 and all picture files were stored but fortunately had it backed up on a web service backup.
    Upon attemptint to reinstall PSE 6 to my new replacement hard drive (same PC as original) I could not find the exe file to get PSE 6 to launch and grew aggravated. I then downloaded the free trial of PSE 7 instead and :
    1) imported my 11K pictures directly in to PSE7 with no issue except that the album info was not present
    2) in an attempt to get the album info I then converted my PSE6 catalog file .psa to a PSE7 catalog but the album info did not come across
    What can I do to either get my album info in PSE7 or going back to the root of the problem reinstall PSE6 and get it to launch?
    Again I never could find the exe file to get my backup copy of PSE 6 to launch
    Thanks

  • 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 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.
