Converting WMAs to MP3s

[The Czech Republic]

My MP3 player won't play WMAs, but that's what ripped CDs are, so ironically I can only use my player for illegal music. Is there like some way I can change all these to MP3s without compression or any loss of fidelity? Or do I have to re-rip hundreds of CDs? I don't feel like doing that

I use a converter from a company in Australia called Wavepad. There are two versions: paid version, and freeware. The freeware version seems to work fine on it's own.

You do realize mp3 is a compressed file format that results in loss of quality anyways don't ya?

NAW!

 

 

My point was that if I make an MP3 of a WMA, that's two rounds of compression, and it's pretty easy to tell by then.

Use Exact Audio Copy

Then use LAME as a compressor

You can use that and rip in VBR, that saves file size and you will not lose any quality.

What about a program that accurately takes audio from video files?

Get iTunes

 

You can convert (and rip) to mp3 pretty easily.

Windows Media Player 10 onwards will rip to mp3, just in the ripping's options change wma to mp3
