Frequently Asked Questions
What is WMA format?
WMA is Microsoft's audio format, offering good compression. While Windows devices support it natively, many non-Windows systems and portable devices have limited or no WMA support.
Will I lose quality converting WMA to MP3?
Both are lossy formats, so some minimal quality loss occurs during re-encoding. Using 320kbps MP3 output minimizes this. If source WMA is high quality, results are excellent.
Can I convert protected WMA files?
No. DRM-protected WMA files from old music subscription services cannot be converted. Only unprotected WMA files (like ripped CDs or personal recordings) can be converted.
Why won't WMA play on my iPhone?
Apple devices don't support WMA natively. You must convert to MP3, AAC, or M4A. MP3 is the safest choice for universal compatibility across all devices.
Which bitrate should I use?
Match or slightly exceed the source quality. For typical WMA files, 256-320kbps MP3 works well. Use 192kbps for good quality with smaller files.
Are my files stored?
No. All processing is secure and files are automatically deleted after conversion. We never store or access your audio.
Tips for Best Results
- Use 320kbps for music you care about most
- 256kbps provides great quality with smaller file sizes
- Keep original WMA files if you have storage space
- Check that source WMA is not DRM-protected before converting
- Batch convert your entire WMA music library at once
- For voice recordings, 128kbps is usually sufficient
