![]() ![]() This is getting frustrating, the only app I have found that works is shareware - US$50 too! I tried ffmpeg from the download link suggested, but when I decode (entering the command line exactly as you suggest) I get "error while decoding stream" messages. Is that the case, or have I installed something wrong? It says "no WMA files can be read (CONVERTED FROM, or played in dAP) with this Codec". I note on this page: C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP\Help\Codec\WMAV2\help.htm Regards dbpowerAmp, I have installed the Windows Media Audio 2 plugin, but WMA doesn't appear as an option to convert FROM, only to convert to. MPEG 2.5 Layer 3: 11,025kHz 12kHz 8kHz (also this is invented by FhG, it is not official standard)Īlways remember, only transcode lossy->lossy if there is no other option (portables etc.). Mp3 has differnet versions, supporting differnt samplerates: If you like to resample, you can do so directly in ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i "yourwma.wma" -ar 22050 "decodedwma.wav" WMA isn´t very high quality, so I thing alt-preset standard is a waste of space, use a lower bitrate recommend setting from this forum. If you would want to encode to mp2 or ac3 you could do it without any problems. Unfortunately mp3 in ffmpeg is buggy, so decode to wav first and then encode to mp3 using Lame. It is a command-line application, use this to decode wma to wav: It contains it own open-source wma-decoder, so you don´t need to intall anything, like hacked drivers etc. The best freeware-app for converting is ffmpeg, you can get win32 builds here: Should I just stick to 64 Kbps files considering the recompression? I did a quick convert of one of the 64/44 files to a 64/44 MP3 using LAME_ENC.DLL which sounded pretty close to the original WMA (I wouldn't say it sounds "worse" just different). (as an aside, do CD players that say they play Windows Media play WMA 2 files? Or only WMA7/8/9? I realise it is bad re-encoding already compressed files, but my cd player can't play WMAs. (2) What are the best settings for LAME when encoding both types of resultant WAV files. I have two questions: (1) When converting the 64/44 files to WAV, should I down sample to 32 KHz? (and when converting the 32/22 files just convert straight to 22 KHz wavs) Is it possible to make a compliant MP3 from a 22KHz file? Or is 32 KHz the minimum? I finally found an app here called Awave that did it no problems: Unfortunately it is shareware, does anyone know of a freeware app that does this? I don't want to use the disc writer in WinAMP because having to play through the whole file is rather time consuming at 3 hours each. I realise that the Windows Media Audio 2 codec is apparently propriety, and it took me ages to find something that would convert it to WAV or MP3. ![]() They are from this webpage here - thankg God for ASFRecorder: I have two types of files, some are 32 Kbps 22 KHz files, and others are 64 Kbps 44 KHz sampling rate. I have many of these files that are all about 3 hours long. I have some ASF files of a radio talk show (mainly speech) that are Windows Media Audio 2 that I wish to convert to MP3 in order to play them in a portable mp3 CD player.
