I have an audio file which has an unrecognisable file ext.  However, windows media player can play the file. Is there any way of changing this file to a wma or mp3 so i can use it on my mp3 player which supports only mp3 or wma?

Goldwave is an excellent tool for editing any kind of sound file and converting between different formats:

Search on google.com "WMA to MP3 Converter" or it might be the other way around, "MP3 to WMA Converter", most of them you will have to pay, but some ARE free. Hope I helped!

It appears that you are trying to play a .WAV file, for which you do not have a player, or it is not properly installed.  You could have as your default player one that cannot play .WAV files.  Try making Windows Media Player your default.\n\nI hope this helps.

you need an ISO extractor to do it, after that convert that spesific file to mp3 through a mp3 coverter (usually some ISO extractor has this feature)

Hi... try to open Windows Explorer... Click <Tools> then <Folder Options> then <File Types> then locate MP3 or WMA... then click on <Change>... Select the program you want to be the default player for your music, in your case choose Windows Media Player... Dont forget to check the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"\n\nHope this solves your problem...:)

go to the sync mode and turn off the format conversion\n\nTools> Options> Devices> Advanced\n\nand uncheck "allow audio files to convert in the background" so they won't be converted into wmas.\n\n\nand for the dude 2 below me, mp3s are unprotected and don't have licenses, and there are unprotected wmas.  only protected wmas do.

You need to remove the DRM on the wma files. However, this is not possible at the moment.\nBUT....\nthere is a way to make a "legal" backup of any DRM (protected) song.\nYou need to get MuVAudio software, which comes with a virtual audio cable. This software plays the song via WMP and re-records it as an mp3 file.\nYou can then d/load from Napster, convert the files then you are free to burn to a cd or put it on you mp3 player.

I use Creative MediaSource AudioConverter.  It came with my sound card, but it was free.  It may work for you, regardless - I see no reason why it wouldn't work just because you don't have that type of sound card.  I get updates for it on creative.com, but I can't find a download section, unfortunately, where you could try it out.\n\nAlso, if you do a search on downloads.com for something like "wma to mp3" you will probably get plenty of results.  Good luck.

you might be better off just either 1) putting them onto your player as wma files or 2) burning them to a cd, then ripping them from there as mp3s\n\nthis is what it says on walmart.com:\nCan I transfer the music I download to a portable player?\n\nYes, you can, as long as the player is able to play WMA files encrypted with Digital Rights Management software. (Note: Apple iPods currently do not play WMA files). Please refer to the documentation that came with your player to determine if it is compatible with WMA-format music and the DRM encryption.

You can use a tool like MP3 Audio Converter. It is a very useful tool to convert popular audio formats like WMA MP3 WAV OGG . You can convert one format to another (like MP3 to WMA, MP3 to WAV, WMA to MP3, WAV to MP3, etc.), or convert to same format but with different encoding parameters (like re-sampling, bitrate. Just go to the site below and get a 15day trial of the program, its easy to use.

Assuming you're referring to WinAmp and not WinZip, some Windows Media files HAVE to be played with Windows Media Player.

You could convert only audio information to mp3, you could do it with winamp(www.winamp.com) or Microsoft Windows Media Player (www. microsoft.com/download)
