Home Forums Peripherals & Multimedia Audio, Video, Photography WMA conversion

Anybody know of a program or way to convert WMA to something I can use on my mac? I don't have any place left to dig.

Thanks.

Google lists various options, but remember that nothing will work with DRM protected tracks.

Thanks. Tried a couple of the programs, kept crashing. Oh well.

FWIW, WMA is only a container, and can contain an audio stream or streams encoded with just about any audio codec. Something that merely says it supports WMA is of very little use since the odds of it having the codec you need once it cracks open the WMA file isn't very good.

So if you already have software to crack open the WMA, you next need to figure out what codec the audio files you have were encoded with. Then install that codec, and the WMA player you are using will probably work.

I use Flip4Mac personally for WMA/WMV files. It also installs most of the audio codecs you're likely to need.

If Flip4Mac does not get the job done, try Perian

I recommend EasyWMV.
EasyWMV

I really don't want to quibble with recommendations, but given the fact that the OP asked about .wma (audio) files, wouldn't you prefer EasyWMA over EasyWMV?
To compare the codecs provided by these shareware utilities with those of the suggested freeware options, here are the specs for 'Flip4Mac' and Perian.
