Try this script, which converts wma to mp3 format. This script can be found at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=273400&perpage=15&pagenumber=2 ------------------- #!/bin/bash # Source : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=273400&perpage=15&pagenumber=2 # Requires: mplayer and lame current_directory=$( pwd ) #remove spaces for i in *.wma; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr ' ' '_'`; done #remove uppercase for i in *.[Ww][Mm][Aa]; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`; done #Rip with Mplayer for i in *.wma ; do mplayer -vo null -vc dummy -ao pcm:file=$i.wav $i; done #Convert to mp3 lame -h *.wav; # Delete WAV files rm *.wav; ---------------------------- I used this script to convert my wma files to mpe format but in my case it cannot convert bulk of wma file. Only one at a time, so make sure that there is only one wma file at a time in the folder where you want to convert this file. --- Josh Coffman <josh_coffman@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > --- Andy Green <andy@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Josh Coffman wrote: > > > > > I could really use some help converting WMA files > > to > > > another format.
