What's the difference btw a wma. and mp3 music file? Can both play on computers and CD players? Burn to CDs?

wma = longer\nmp3 = shorter\nbut, the important thing is...it is the only difference...i mean, maybe if ur a sound engineer or something like that, you'll notice the difference in the "quality" of the sound...otherwise...nah, no difference...and yeah, both can be played on cd players as long as the player you have takes wma and mp3 files...and yeah, both can be burn to CDs...and my advice is...get the mp3s...they take less space in ur disc which means you can take more music in one single CD...nice huh???

The best way to convert files I've found is with the program CDex. Search for it in Google, and you'll find it. Forget about converting with jukebox, real player, winamp or windows media, it's either impossible, you have to pay, or difficult. And CDex works well, easy to use, and free.

I'm assuming you want to play music on the CD player...correct?\nIf so, there are several variables you need to be aware of.\nFirst: compact discs differ for data and music.\nIf you plan on playing songs from a CD that you burn in your computer, then you must burn your music to an audio formatted CD.\nSecond: as to why your DVD player will play the disc but not your CD player, it could be that you have a high-quality DVD which will play a wide variety of discs.\nThird: you might try burning a DVD with tons of music on one disc to give yourself hours of music, as opposed to a 70 minute maximum on a CD.\nA note about DVD's: when you buy digital video discs, they come in a "minus" or "plus" format.\nThe label will read as such: "DVD-R" or "DVD+R".\nYou might check your player to make sure you are buring the correct disc format.\nSee link for further information.

Try going to http://www.download.com type in the search something like wma to mp3 converters.  Various converters are there for many different uses.  Make sure you find one that converts to mp3s.  Many of these programs are shareware, or a demo.  This should help. Good Luck!

Yes of course ! iTunes is a music player that plays MP3's, radio streams and podcasts, it can even convert protected tracks from the iTunes Music Store to MP3, if you burn a CD.

Hi There\n\nI have listed two sources for converting these files, both are free. The 3rd source do a simple search and you will get lots of programs but you would have to purchase them. To explain each .dat .cda and AAC format would bore you, they are just ways to compress music. The important thing is the links below to the software allow you to switch, change, store, convert and play each of them.

Absolutely the best software I've seen for that is called Muvaudio....  It will convert essentially any music format (including WMAs with DMA) to MP3.  (www.muvaudio.com)\n\nWow--I sound like I'm a salesman for them or something; honestly not--I've just tried dozens of different programs and this is the one I've had by far the best luck with.

Windows Audio Converter. It comes with Media Center Edition...if you have that...if not you can search audio converter on google and a ton of stuff comes up but...this is what I do...Where did you get your WMA? From a cd? Then put the cd back in and use Exact Audio Copy to make an uncompressed .wav then use Besweet GUI to turn it into a nice clean compact .mp3. ;) Sounds complicated but it's not and the sound is great. Plus they're both freeware!

u can use softwares like "Goldwave", "Music Match juke box" but probably they need one .dll file. well i have that dll file, i can't remember the name, so i msorry. but i know that with Goldwave when u try to convert it gives u an error for that .dll file and then u can download that file from internet or u can mail me and i will send it to u after looking into my system.\n\nor u can use Winamp, it has some plugin which can convert any media file it plays into mp3.

A MP3 CD is really just a data CD that has MP3 files on it.  It is just like you could have a CD with Microsoft Word and Excel files on it.  MP3 CDs are not formatted to play in a regular CD player.  That is why many recent CD players say they play discs in MP3 format.

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!

Yes, they are the same, but there are different bitrates and sampling speeds that can be used.  For example, you can probably create an MP3 that uses 48kHz instead of the standard 44.1kHz (cd sampling rate).  There is also the the kbps rate which can range from at least 20-320 (or even use a variable rate).  They can be mono or stereo and there are probably other options that can be set within the mp3.  So, it's possible there are mp3's that are formatted that Winamp can't play.  Have you tried playing it in iTunes or another mp3 player to see how it's formatted?\n\nIt's also possible the song is mislabeled as something.mp3 and is really a .wma, .ogg or another compressed audio format (mistakenly labeled as mp3).  Many of these can be played in Winamp, but they require a plug-in.\n\nFurther, the song could be corrupted or half-downloaded.  If you got it off Limewire, it's more than likely the song is intentionally corrupted.  There are people out on P2P networks intentionally putting corrupted files up that mimic  a real file.  So, when Limewire downloads it, it mixes in pieces of the corrupted file with the good pieces and the entire file is corrupted in the end.  It's one of several tactics used by the music industry to discourage downloading of music on P2P networks.

A floppy disk only stores 1.44MB of information, a typical MP3 music file is about 1MB for every minute of song - unless it's a really short song you're not going to get it on a floppy disk.\n\nIf you don't have a CD writer then you could try copying to an external hard drive, linking the two computers together, e-mailing your files and opening the e-mails on your friends computer.

Yes. MP3 discs are just MP3 files burned to a disc. Any CD burner can create them.
