Ted Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Can anyone help. I have downloaded sound files I want to mix with wav before putting them on PTE project. These files were tagged as MP3, but after a lot of time trying to convert them on winamp, I discovered they are 'wma' Winamp will play them but not convert, as it does ok with true MP3 files. Many thanks Ted Quote
OGL Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Hi, Ted!Open your .wma files in SoundForge, then: Save As wav. Regards,Oleg Quote
alrobin Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Hi, Ted,Adobe "Audition" will convert them. Quote
Igor Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Also there is AbyssAudio Converter ($17)It converts between MP3, WMA, OGG and WAV files.http://www.abyssaudio.com/aaconverter.zipBut there are (but I can't recollect) similar freeware products. Quote
cici Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Ted,you can open with Audacity, and convert into WMA ,WaV,MP3, OGGYou can download it from http://audacity.sourceforge.net, and it is free Quote
alrobin Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Ted, My copy of Audacity 1.2.0, pre 1, won't let me load a .wma file. Did you actually try it? Quote
OGL Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Hi, Al!You are right. Audacity don't load .wma files.Oleg Quote
cici Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Ted, Al, Oleg,forgive me my wrong advice: I was convinced that it could, but even last version, does not open WMA files.Nest time I'll check before giving an answer.Sorry Quote
Kurt S Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 DbPoweramp will convert and it's freehttp://www.dbpoweramp.com/ Quote
alrobin Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Kurt,My DBPowerAmp Music convertor won't open .wma files, either. Edit:Woops! Just realized there is a special codec for it - I was under the impression that if one had version 9 of DMC, one didn't need the wma codec, but that applies to just one part of it. My mistake! Quote
Ted Posted September 4, 2003 Author Report Posted September 4, 2003 Thanks to all who replied. I've downloaded so many players, but so far no luck. Looks like I may have to save up and buy SoundForge - Thanks Oleg Quote
mannybr2003 Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 It says in their website in dbPower that you have to download a WMA coder before it can convert WMA to other formats. And for Windows 95 & 98 users check out this System Update Page WMA and Ogg Vorbis support are added by downloading a Codec from [Codec Central]. Still, I downloaded the dbPower but didn't install . Among you who have installed it, what will happen after 30 days if you don't register it? Will it stop working? Does it show nagging reminders? Quote
alrobin Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 No, DBPowerAmp Music Converter is freeware - no reminders! Quote
