J Rees Posted July 10, 2003 Author Report Posted July 10, 2003 Thanks. It worked. I did have to download an additional program for the WMA files but the information was all there.John Rees Quote
Lloegyr Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Yes have to agree a really excellent tool which has done me good service and it has excellent encoding too using lameMikeMersea Island Quote
fitzner3 Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 I use also "dbpower amp music converter" and I have just one .wma music file and I would like to convert it to mp3.But when I go to the program to convert the wma it does not show up on the list. All the other mp3's etc. show up but not wma.what do you think is wrong?am I missing an additional program with dbpower amp that I need for wma files.\?Harry Quote
Ken Cox Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 harrysee the siteyou may need the codecs http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm Codec downloads add Windows Media Audio v8 (WMA) , Ogg Vorbis and many more types to the table. Features include: Volume Normalization ken Quote
fitzner3 Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Ok, well, I downloaded the files needed to convert wma to mp3 and it says that the song.wma is write protected and I cannot convert it.Harry Quote
Ken Cox Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 what is its name maybe i got a mp3 i could send youken Quote
fitzner3 Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 Thank You Ken,that is real nice of you and very thoughtful!! The song is really from a CD that our church produced locally and why they used wma instead of mp3 I don't know. Probably the CD people said people would have a hard time doing what I want to do?The title is "What Kind Of Man Is This" and you would not have it because it was only distributed locally in our area. But hey thanks anyway!! Perhaps other wma will not be that way.Harry Quote
alrobin Posted July 11, 2003 Report Posted July 11, 2003 Harry, Another possibility is to start the music playing through WMP and at the same time start up Cool Edit or Audacity, and set to record as a .wav or .mp3 file. Some sound cards will record internally from one program to another, and you won't even need to hear anything while this is going on.I haven't tried this where a .wma file is involved, but it's worth a try.
