How to convert WMA to MP3 – Get the answer


Quite often while surfing the Web, we bump into some music releases in a format we're not very familiar with. These 'unfamiliar' formats may include AIFF, WMA, OGG, etc. They usually seem like something too elaborate and advanced and definitely not as cool as FLAC or MP3. However, if you do a little research, you'll see that AIFF is basically the same old WAV but developed by Apple, WMA stands for Windows Media Audio, and OGG is what you listen to on Spotify. Among these formats, WMA remains the favorite as most files you'd listen to on Windows are WMA.

WAV vs. MP3


Still, converting WMA to MP3 isn't a rare phenomenon as many users just don't know that digital audio doesn't boil down to MP3 and FLAC. Well, as long as there's a need for converting WMA to MP3 there will be corresponding services. So here I'll provide you with three main tools to do so.

Use a web converter

I'm not talking about any particular one. What you need to do is to google 'wma to mp3'. You'll see a considerable number of links with pretty much the same set of tools. Usually, you just select some files from your computer, give it a few minutes and download converted MP3s. Simple as that.


Why it's no good?

The key reason why you shouldn't convert WMA to MP3 is that most WMA files result from lossy compression meaning that the audio is of low-quality. Converting them to MP3 will aggravate the sound quality even more. Not cool, dude, not cool. On the other hand, WMA can also be of lossless compression. It makes WMA lossless a Hi-Res file. When you convert lossless WMA to MP3, you literally destroy everything that'd make the file sound good.

Use a converting tool

The action plan is quite similar to the previous one. Google what you need, download a soft and go ahead. What is better about this option is that you can convert an entire folder of WMA to MP3. It'd take less time, but you'll still ruin the sound quality. Actually, you can't convert any audio file to MP3 and expect no deterioration in quality. And again, there are so many tools for audio conversion that it makes no sense to recommend a particular one, any will do.
