  • 772

When I tried to convert my audio files from WMA to MP3, I get an error message that I need to search for a plugin. See pictures below.

How can I convert these audio files?

    You can use ffmpeg or the VLC media player to convert WMA files to MP3. Once you have VLC installed, convert your file by:

    1. Open VLC and select Media -> Convert / Save
    2. Add your WMA file and click Convert/Save
    3. Select Audio - MP3 from the conversion drop-down
    4. Choose a destination for your file
    5. Click Start

    With ffmpeg, you can convert the file from the command-line using this code:

    ffmpeg -i input.wma -ab 32 output.mp3

    The -b option specifies the bitrate, so you may want to change that to fit your needs.
