JH2688 Posted July 1, 2007 CID Share Posted July 1, 2007 hey guys, I've been having some trouble in converting wma files into mp3. Every program i try can't do it. It seem like the wma files are protected in some way. I want all my songs in mp3 because thats what all my players use such as my car cd player and my PS3. What can i do about this? what program will convert them? Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/19329-converting-wma-into-mp3/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted July 1, 2007 CID Share Posted July 1, 2007 If you have itunes on your computer you can do it in there. Though if you bought it from a music site you will not be able to do it because they have DRM Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/19329-converting-wma-into-mp3/#findComment-228170 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furry Posted November 19, 2007 CID Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hi! Let me advise. There are a lot of soft to convert any type of files. You should download one and easily convert wma files into mp3. I use program TuneCab. It's not free but it remove DRM from DRM-protected files.

x_6985381 Posted November 20, 2007 CID Share Posted November 20, 2007 Furry Welcome, like Furry says there are many software programs out there most allow 1-5 free converts before they ask you to register, or purchase the program. Google "ImToo" I use their programs from changing .mov to .mpeg and like wise .wma to .mp3 - Hope this helps!

Furry Posted November 22, 2007 CID Share Posted November 22, 2007 Is it possible to convert protected files downloaded from Napster or Yahoo! Music, using free soft?

Nos7667 Posted November 22, 2007 CID Share Posted November 22, 2007 Is it possible to convert protected files downloaded from Napster or Yahoo! Music, using free soft? No I don't think that is possible. But for future reference. Just get a program that rips the cd right into mp3, so there is no converting involved. I use Winamp for this, But im sure there is others. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/19329-converting-wma-into-mp3/#findComment-250904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
