Music Converting

jayd · 07-19-2006, 07:05 PM

Windows XP obviously does do a software program to convert music audio tracks to mp3.

Is there any way to vice versa this approach - to convert mp3 to standard audio tracks (WMA?) ?

Basically to play ripped music CDs in a car stereo that doesn't play mp3.

Yea, that works too actually. I completely forgot about that!

ok....so change the song extension (exemlpe: love.mp3) to a .wma (love.wma) I think you you got to save it or something like that.
If one of your friends has an MP3 (not an ipod tho) then oyu can use his softwear for converting songs also.

Just by simply renaming - as you say, filename.wma?

That idea doesn't seem to work for me.

Although, the first idea does - downloading the converter.

Ta muchly you two.
