Can I Convert WMA to MP3?

[MBP]

Hi

Old thread but it came up when in Google and nobody provided the following answer that has worked for me.

You need to download the free WMV add on for Quicktime. You can get it from the Micro$@#t website:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Once installed you can open WMA/WMV with Quicktime.

Open the files with Quicktime and choose File > Export > Audio to AIF. You can then drag the AIF's into iTunes and they'll be imported into your library.

Since iTunes converts them by itself nowadays, I don't think this step is necessary any longer for WMAs and iTunes at least (which the thread is about). All of this still doesn't mean that DRM-protected files could be opened, of course.

Itunes didn't import the WMA's for me, hence me searching for a way to convert in the first place.

This worked for me. Latest os10 and latest iTunes in May 2009.

My wma's were maybe protected???

Wow. This is an old thread. Yeah, I have WMP now. Works fine for all the video files that QuickTime doesn't handle. So now I've got both.
