Convert WMA to WAV files for iTunes import
Authored by: velkr0 on Dec 18, '03 12:34:09AM

on a side note... this didn't work for me when i was trying to convert 'protected' wma's... so.. i used my brain for a bit... and came up with a multi-step solution...

i turned on my windows machine... went in M$ media player (8), queued up my protected wma's and the selected 'copy to cd or device'... WMP then converted the wma's and burned them to a plain old audio cd... i then ejected the cd... put it in my powerbook and then ripped them as mp3's in iTunes...

done and done... wma's never again!!!

Convert WMA to WAV files for iTunes import

I tried this and my mplayer reported:
Detected audio codec: [divx] drv:4 (DivX audio (WMA)) Requested audio codec family [divx] (vfm=4) not available (enable it at compile time!) Couldn't initialize audio codec! -> nosound Audio: no sound!!! Video: no video!!! Start playing... MPlayer interrupted by signal 10 in module: unknown
I assume mplayer crashed because it couldn't find the audio codec. Curious as to why this is as WMP seems to handle the file just fine, does this have to do with the divx encoding?
