Converting audio...

Post by redgroupclan »

I dunno if this is easier than it seems, but here goes.

I recorded audio with my MP3 players EasyRip feature. The audio is saved as a WMA File, and I was wondering if theres a way to convert it to MP3 format because Im trying to put it on a FreeWebs site and it never seems to upload in its current file format.

Can I convert my recording into MP3 file format?

Audacity -- it's free and powerful. Don't have a link handy, but google should turn it up easy.

I used Audacity with one of my files to test conversion-it worked. Now I cant open any of my other files. It says they must be converted before Audacity opens them due to patents...even though there are none.

Are they mp3 or m4a?
