Answer 1

Answer 2

WMA is the format of the music file. There are many different formats for music files on computers, the most common being mp3, wma, aac and wav.



You can download free software that will convert your music from wma to mp3 format. There are many programs on the market but I suggest you try either:



Free WMA to MP3 Converter

http://www.download.com/Free-WMA-to-MP3-Converter/3000-2140_4-10494268.html



or



dbPoweramp (in my opinion better as you can use it to convert many different file formats) This used to be free but is now only free for a limited period. There are old free versions here though:

These will convert existing wma tracks on your computer to mp3. In future if you want to add any music from cd to your phone either use the software that should have been provided with your phone (which you can usually download from the manufacturer site if you don't have it) or use the following Windows Media Player settings to rip your cd:



Open Windows Media Player and click on :

Tools >> Options >> Rip Music

Under the "Rip Music" tab you will see rip settings and format. Click on the drop down format list to select mp3. Now when you rip any cds to your computer using Windows Media Player they will already be in mp3 format and no conversion will be needed.



To add them to your phone you usually need the software that came with your phone (again, if you don't have this try the manufacturer site) as well as some kind of compatible connection (usb cable or bluetooth dongle).



Hope this helps.

Switch audio file conversion software is a sound file format converter for Windows or Mac. It can convert audio files from many different file formats into mp3, wav or wma files including wav to mp3, mp3 to wav, wma to mp3 and much more.....

Just go on this site below and you'll do it...good luck!!!!

Answer 4

WMA and Mp3 are different formats and it is easier to just get mp3s than trying to convert them, go to multiply.com for the mp3s



You can also convert your cd's to your desktop computer using iTunes, WMA is used in Windows Media Player, so its not very good in the conversion process in iTunes.



Just get new songs and then add them to your phone.



If this doesn't make any sense, email me.

Answer 5

I have started using Movavi. It converts files to almost any format and they can be used on mobile phones. I have saved a lot of music videos this way. You can use the online version and get them to do it for you, or pay for the full version and do it yourself.

Answer 6

If your phone is capable then you will have been given the required software plus a usb cable to transport music to your phone.
