I'm looking for a decent program or two that would easily convert a few of my music files into a different format. More specifically:
- I have a few files in a *.wv lossless format, and would like to convert them to flac.
- I have a few other files, that are DRM protected .wma's. I'm pretty sure the DRM server for those files may go under at one point, and want to have a DRM free copy since, you know, I payed for them and all.
- The program has to be free and work on Windows XP.
I tried googling, but most of the results that come up are programs of questionable quality and origin, so I'm hoping to find some people here that know their way around this stuff...
Program to easily convert music files.
" @HaltIamReptar said:I recall using this program for a similar purpose and not having to pay for it. It worked really well. Arkasai recommended Audacity which is an awesome program as well. I've never used it for any type of conversion, but it's a cool program and you'll be cool if you have it installed on your hard drive." dB Poweramp Audio Converter /thread "Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't dB Poweramp not free? Or rather, not legally free? "
Also, I have never heard of the *.wv extension. I will have to Google this out of curiosity.
Managed to convert the *.wv files with dB Poweramp Audio Converter. They look to be just fine.
However, the program can't convert the DRMed *.wma's. fynne said that I could turn the files into Audio CD's, and yes, I could totally do that with the DRM'ed files (since I know for a fact that the DRM on them allows making CDs) but I'd have to go out and buy a few CDs. If I can't find any other way I'll totally do that though.
@Ariketh
: Why not go all out, and just use Windows Recorder and put a microphone to your speakers?@Arkasai: Mentioned in the first and this post...
@roofy: Can it convert DRM *.wma?
@Castro: Wavpak. Pretty good in terms of lossless and lossy quality and filesize, but man, finding things that support this format is a pain. Not worth the trouble.
EDIT: Oh, and Audacity also doesn't support DRM...
