how to convert wma to itunes

[PorterGCK]

So I've made the move to mac and I'm in the process of moving all of my file over from pc. I can't seem to find any easy (ie drag&drop type) software to convert my 400 or so music files. Any suggestions for a computer illiterate knuckledragger like myself?

iTunes on your PC (if you have it) will convert your songs from wma > mp3 or AAC, depending on how the importing preferences are set within iTunes. Just drag them (I'd do say, 50 at a time, just to play it safe) onto the iTunes library window and a dialogue box will appear asking you if you want the .wma files converted.

Then you'll be set to move them over to your Mac.

If they're already on the Mac, then there's EasyWMA.

Its free and it works. Convert to mp3, import to itunes and finish by convert to acc. Thanks waiton

So you've gone from CD -> WMA -> MP3 -> AAC. Is the resulting AAC file actually worth listening to?

With OS 10.4.11 I recently downloaded a wma file that was simply audio. Opening the file in Quicktime permitted it to play, and using (Menubar,File,Export) permitted a number of save options, including MPEG-4 and save to ipod. wma=>MPEG-4 compressed the files by nearly a factor of 3.

Hi. I've just googled and found a great solution that's free:

I'm using it right now. It seems to take a little longer than conversion in iTunes (ie. CD to mp3) but it can queue up as many files as you wish. If you have lots then you can just queue them up before you go to bed and let it do it overnight.

I'm using the free version to convert from WMA to MP3. It also has AAC format too.

Good luck!

EDIT: I've just finished converting 426 wma songs to mp3. The sound is good but all the album and artist information got lost in the conversion! AAARRGGHHH!!! So I'm going to use my partner's Windows PC to convert instead. *Grumble*

Excellent. Thanks!

Btw, sorry I'm late to this party.

I'm among a bunch of geeks who do rogue radio shows, albeit, sometimes a bit tipsy. A buddy sent me Limp Bizkit's "My Way," via Skype and wma.

Thus, my frustration, until waiton hooked me up.

Sounds about 5 times better via iTunes. :koolaid

No worries, folks, it's a "you send it" file.
