Is there an easy way to convert WMA to MP3?

Or even better, if someone has Drowning Pool's version of Triple H's theme song on mp3...
hehe

The easiest way would be to locate the team who wrote Windows Media Player, go to their Rights Management coders and say "tell me how to unlock this or I will cut your (insert valuable protruberance of your choice here) off".

Seriously, no. WMA's 'advantages' prevent you from doing such presumptious things. Bastards. Keep it MP3 - Fight the power!

I wouldn't mind rights management being implemented sensibly - for example, I don't mind SCMS - if it wasn't being decided for us by money-grabbing lawyers, the lazy music industry and the politicians in their pockets.

chill out man, you can disable rights management from the gui.



Noriaki, the easiest way i can think of is to convert it to wav and encode it back to mp3 just like you woulddo the opposite. but im curious why dont you want it in wma format (read: whats wrong with the file?)

That is my answer. I have used it myself.

If the file is useable keep it as it is. Re-encoding to MP3 will always hurt the audio quality.
You'll be better off if you find an original rip or rip the track yourself (from your own CD ).

Well my MP3 player doesn't play WMAs.....
But mainly because I'm tinkering with a portable mp3 player that doesn't play WMAs.

But it's okay, the track isn't all that great anyways.

Thanks for the help though.
