iTunes for Mac will not import nor play Windows Media Audio files. If they're not copy-protected, though, you may be able to convert them with EasyWMA.

    iTunes for Mac can't handle WMA files, iTunes for winsloth can.
    if you have access to a PC, use iTunes there to convert the files. alternatively, you can get EasyWMA and use that app.
    the files need to be unprotected in both cases.

  • Possible to convert DRM protected WMA files to mp3?

    I've been attempting to find a relatively simple way of converting DRM-protected WMA files to mp3 using my Mac and can't seem to find anything. Surely somebody must have figured this out by now. I can convert non-DRM WMA files to mp3 using EasyWMA, but this does not work for WMA files with DRM protection.
    I want to purchase songs from the 7digital store that are in the WMA format and have DRM protection, convert them to MP3 on my iMac, and then import them into iTunes. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard.
    Any suggestions?

    iTunes Windows will convert non-DRM tunes into .mp3. If you have iTS purchases that have DRM you can burn them to an audio format CD as AIFF file format.
    Check the terms of use and see what your options are for converting them to another format. With iTunes the path is to burn an audio CD. See if that is possible with the wma DRM.
    Likely in your case you are trying to crack DRM outside the original terms of use when you purchased the tunes.

  • I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format on Lion

    I need to find a way to convert .WMA files to .MP3 format; with Snow Leopard, I could do that using iTunes, but since upgrading to Lion, I can convert the files to a .mov format in Quick Time, but cannot move the file into iTunes in order to convert it to .MP3. If you can suggest a work-around or an app that will work with Lion, would be much appreciated.

    Haven't used it myself, but worth a look http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27103/all2mp3

  • Converting .WMA files to .MP3???

    Ok i have no idea where to put this question but here it goes.......hope it gets answered......or if someone can direct me.
    Just as my subject header.........how do you do it? I tried to drag it into iTunes but it doesn't work........
    any help will do.
    Thanks

    In a few cases, the file is internally the same format in a different wrapper. For instance, using a Windows Media codec but in an AVI wrapper rather than WMV. Or the player may play both formats and look internally at the file, rather than at the filename extension, to determine what codecs to use. In those cases, changing the filename extension might work.
    But when you're trying to go from one codec to another, such as WMA to MP3, where the player won't handle the original format (and it matters not whether it's video or audio), then just changing the filename extension will not work. That's the case with iTunes; it won't play WMA files, period, and changing the filename extension won't change that. You must convert the WMA to something iTunes can play, and that takes other software such as the converters mentioned.

  • Converting WMA files to MP3 files?

    Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac?

    You can use Quicktime Player if you install Perian (which allows you to read WMAs).
    I believe Perian only supports codecs other than WMA. For WMA you need Flip4Mac. I also think that for conversion you need to get an upgraded version (payware), otherwise it only gives you the first 30 seconds or so. Even if Perian worked you would also need Quicktime Pro (payware).
    Or, I think HandBrake can do it. Just Google "HandBrake" and it should come up first.
    I think HandBrake is the best way to do it.
    Does Handbrake work with audio only files? WMA = Windows Media Audio
    Anyway, I think with Handbrake you'll also encounter the codec issue. At least my older version of Handbrake won't open WMV, nor will it even open mp3 audio alone.

  • 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,

  • .wma files into my itunes on mac

    I had a friend give a lot of music via external HD. Problem is, they are all .wma files. Any way I can import those into my mac itunes with a free application?

    Stop being so presumptuous and give the guy a break, why don't you?
    You'll need to convert the files first using an app such as: Switch
    If your friend uses iTunes on a PC he can convert the wma files into mp3's for you, sadly the Mac version of iTunes doesn't allow this.

  • ITunes converted wma files

    Hi all,
    I have all my CD's ripped to an external hard drive in .wma form. I had to reinstall Windows recently due to an error, and have now re-downloaded iTunes, but have to re-convert all my music which takes a long time.
    Once I convert all these .wma files to .mp3 this time, are they kept somewhere? I would like to replace the wma's with the converted mp3's if possible. Thanks!

    can go to the iTunes folder, and copy and paste the converted MP3's to replace the WMA's?
    Why do you need two copies of the files?
    One in the iTunes music folder and one on the external?
    If you want them backed up, simply copy the entire iTunes folder to the external drive.
    You can do it thru Windows Exploder or use any backup program to do it automatically.

  • Converting wma's into mp3s

    Hi,
    I have a Zen Xtra with about a third of my files as mp3s and the rest in wma format. I've tried converting the remaining wma's into mp3s using Creatuve Media Source but it says that 'file conversion is not supported.' Even though its not necessary to turn my wma files into mp3s, I would still prefer all the files to be of the same format. Can anyone help me out? Do I need to download an update of Creative Media Source?
    Appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Try updating to the latest version of MediaSource, 3.30.2, from this site.
    DRM stands for "digital rights management"; it's most commonly used on files downloaded from legal download services. However, some versions of WMP add DRM restrictions to ripped music, which may block certain actions. In WMP 0, choose Tools > Options, then the Rip Music tab; make sure the "Copy protect music" box is NOT checked. (It's unchecked by default in WMP 0, but was checked by default in some earlier versions of WMP.) If it is checked, uncheck it, then re-rip the CDs.

  • Converting files to MP3 for

    I'm trying to convert my wma files to MP3 format for various reasons. Everytime that I try it tells me that the format is not supported and the add more files also is sometimes displayed. Is there something that I'm not doing. I followed the help file to a tee but still getting no results. Thanks in advance.

    You get this when trying to convert copy protected tracks i.e. ones from online music stores as converting to mp3 would remove any copy protection.
    Note also that Windows Media Player copy protects by default any tracks that are ripped from your own CDs unless you go into the settings and reomve the copy protection check mark.

  • Downloading a wma file in an iPad

    How do you convert a wma file to mp3 or how do you download it in an iPad ?

    wma is not supported so it would have to be converted, are you on a Mac or PC?
    Audio formats supported: HE-AAC (V1 and V2), AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV

  • How do I convert an mp3 or WMA file to a m4a file?

    I read on another forum that iTunes can convert mp3 and wma files to m4a format.
    How do I do this?

    That is correct.
    By default if you load a .wma file into iTunes, it will AUTOMATICALLY convert it to another format first, since it needs to in order to play it. However, you can also convert any other file format that iTunes supports, assuming it can get loaded into iTunes.
    To set what format you want to convert to, go EDIT->PREFERENCES. Click the IMPORT SETTINGS button and select which encoder you want (AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV are supported) and then select the bit rate if you are choosing a lossy format (AAC/MP3).
    From there, any .wma files you load into iTunes (you can do this by going into iTunes and selecting FILE-> ADD FILE TO LIBRARY, or simply right clicking a .wma file and OPEN WITH iTunes) will convert to that format. ALSO, if you have any other files already in iTunes you wish to convert, select the file(s), and go to ADVANCED -> CREATE ___ VERSION (the blank being whatever you selected before) and it will convert for you.
    Remember, converting a lower quality song to a higher quality format/bit rate won't "up-covert" any quality, the lowest quality you start with is the highest you can possibly get, but if you still prefer to have a certain file format or bit rate to compress to, this is the feature you'd use!
    Let me know if you have any other questions!
