wma to mp3 conversion

[deleted]

I am trying to convert wma files to mp3. the resulting mp3 files are poor quality - sounds like there are skips in the music. What am I doing wrong?

i'm having a problem with that also........it seems like it only converted some of the song..........

[deleted]

and when i tried converting it again,it took more time off the song.......i'm thinking alot of people have this problem.........

are they protected wma files? You can see this by looking at the file properties of the file in Windows Explorer (the Summary tab)

what summary tab? if your talking about the details one,it didnt say anything about a protected file.

oh now i know what your talking about........no. its not a protected file.

unfortunately with wma, if it doesn't work there isn't much else we can do. We are using Microsoft DirectX to decode the file, we are not using some sort of custom-built plugin.

maybe check to see if you have the latest DirectX? The latest is version 9.0c.

i found a solution to the problem. ^_^ if you have itunes,have it convert the file to an .aac (you can use switch,but you risk getting more skips in the music) file,then convert the .aac file to an .mp3.
