    Need A Batch WMA to MP3 Converter

    Right, finally decided to convert my wma files to mp3, I have tried freemake audio converter but it crashes when importing the files after a certain amount.

    Does anyone know a good freeware bulk wma to mp3 converter? I have about 9000 songs to convert.

    Thanks
    Jon

    dbpoweramp - I've tried a lot of tools over the years and this one is by far the best IMO. A brilliant plugin system and easy to use. Cheap too if you want the pro features.

    You really shouldn't go from lossy to lossy though.

    Thanks agent, I will take a look at that one.

    What it is is I have got myself a new iphone 4s and having just installed itunes, its saying half my library is in WMA format and did I want to convert it, errrrr no I thought as I would rather go to a format that I know all my players will play, not entirely sure how many things play AAC.

    Anyway as I also want to get the album art embedded thought mp3 would be the better format????

    MP3 is the most universal, I would highly recommend against using AAC.

    Switch made by NCH software is another option I've used in the past.

    I use Easy CDDA Extractor, has a pretty good converter built in.
