I've got dozens of CD's I stupidly ripped to WMA format a few years ago and want them in MP3 format.

Does anyone know of a free convertor that can do a batch of files in one go?

I've downloaded a couple of apps but they are either demo's that only do one or 2 at a time or they have problems converting for various reasons - DRM protected files etc :confused:

Might be easier to re-rip them all one day when I'm bored.

Audacity is free and has an mp3 ripping plug in.

I'll have a search and see what they do.

Ripping isn't a problem - I was actually wanting something to convert all my WMA files to MP3 in one go and not have to re-rip them all.

I am using iTunes on my laptop and recently converted ALL my ripped cd's to mp3 in one go using their 'convert selection to mp3' under the 'advanced' tab.

 

If you want more info let me know.

Yeah until you try to download and they want $5 for the "freeware" version to cover their bandwidth costs! LOL

The full version trial seems to work OK though so might pay the $5 for the cut down version unless I can somehow use iTunes.

I'll see if I can download that from Apple.

iTunes is free, in fact they usually try and force it on you along with QuickTime.

What's wrong with WMA format?

That's odd, I didn't pay fook all, and I've got the full version :confused:

I never knew that iTunes did that though, bloody typical.

Yep... Downloading Itunes is free way to convert wma to mp3.:D

Nothing really but it only works on Micro$haft PC's and media players whereas MP3 is universal so phones, PDA's, stereos etc etc all support it and I have LOTS of gadgets LOL

 

Just installed iTunes and it is automatically converting all my WMA files to AAC format and the only option on the Advanced menu is to convert to AAC? :confused:

Click >> Edit >> Preferences >> Advanced >> Importing;

 

Click the drop-down box that says "Import Using" and you'll find your choices there.
