    Hey.

    Right well I got my mac a few months ago and I love it. I had backed up lots of music but only the mp3s went over.

    I still have tons of great wmas on my back-up CDs.

    Has anyone any ideas what best to do?

    I was considering looking for a converter, something that will batch convert a big folder full of wmas to mp3s.. iz pozible?

    I was also considering [shock horror] trying something different from itunes..something which plays wmas and mp3s...
    Windows media player for os x seems to suck quite a bit.. its basicaly just a player with no library am i right?

    Id really rather not just have to use WMP for my wmas and itunes for my mp3s.. itunes pisses me off sometimes anyway..

    So any ideas here would be greatly appreciated. pleease :)

    Thanks

    argh. the free version only does 10 seconds of conversion. might have to buy it. unless theres an alternative. ballix.

    There might be another way. Drag the WMA file into iTunes, it should come up with a message that the file cannot be played in it. But it offers you to convert the file.

    When you do so, you should get a .m4a file I think, which can also be played on your iPod if you have one. The file size is very similar to MP3. It at least works that way on iTunes 6.

    Be warned though that the quality will be crap as you're converting from one compressed format to another.
