WMA to MP3: Anyone know of any apps or techniques?"[views:1331][posts:22]__________________________________________________ [Feb 27,2008 11:33am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] A good deal of WMA rips of albums have been going up lately. Makes it so I can't put these songs on iTunes or my iPod. Anyone know how to convert these quick and easy? |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 27,2008 11:40am - brian_dc ""] shoot...I did this fairly easily recently and forgot how...I think there's a fairly simple conversion in iTunes |
| __________________________________________________ [Feb 27,2008 11:41am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I am using Mac OSX, btw I can't seem to get these things to import to iTunes as WMA, though Windows Media Audio |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 27,2008 11:45am - brian_dc ""] I honestly think that if you use the "Import" option in iTunes on a folder with .wma's in it it will prompt you to convert them to .aac's |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 27,2008 11:45am - brian_dc ""] or that's what I thought |

Just don't convert them and then put them out there for share again. No one likes getting material that's converted and then converted again. |

If I convert them, I get to keep the original files and then the mp3s for myself. Turns out that there-in lies the magic of computers! |

True, but much as you've been finding a lot of .wma downloads lately, I've been coming across a lot of low bitrate multiple-converted low quality crap lately. Just trying to spread the word, because obviously someone somewhere doesn't understand that .wma, .mp3, etc... are all lossy compression and multiple conversions will kill your sound. |

| __________________________________________________ [Feb 28,2008 12:58am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I did try and drag them, they wouldn't import |

| _________________________________ [Feb 28,2008 7:03am - sxealex ""] you really should just find every folder named system 32 and delete it. then just report back with no problems. |
