NAME

wma2mp3 - convert WMA music files to MP3

 

SYNOPSIS

WA2LWinTools/bin/wma2mp3 [ -h | -i | -u | -V ]

wma2mp3 [ -n ][ file... ]

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/WinTools

 

DESCRIPTION

convert one or more *.wma file(s) to *.mp3 file(s).

Each given file1.wma is converted to file1.mp3 as long as the destination file ( file1.mp3 ) does not exist already.

The wma2mp3 command should be installed to the 'Send To' context menu in 'Microsoft™ Windows Explorer' for most convenient usage. To do so, invoke wma2mp3 -i once.

 

OPTIONS

-h
usage message.

-i
install the wma2mp3 command as menu point 'wma2mp3' to the 'Send To' context menu in 'Windows Explorer'.

-u
uninstall the wma2mp3 shortcut from the 'Send To' context menu in 'Windows Explorer'.

-V
print program version.

-n
non interactive execution. This prevents the message box dialog at the end of the program execution. Using -n the avi2mp4 command can be used in batch processing without any user intervention.

file...
list of *.wma files to convert to *.mp3 . When installed in the 'Send To' menu the selected file(s) in 'Windows Explorer' are passed as a list of files to the wma2mp3 command and all given WMA files are converted and saved as separate MP3 files.

If no file is specified, you are queried to select the file(s) by a open file box dialog where you then can select file(s) to be processed.

NOTES

The wma2mp3 command uses internally lame, a command from the 'LAME Project' and wma2wav from 'Lord Mulder'.

For more information about lame see http://lame.sourceforge.net/ or https://github.com/Chocobo1/lame_win32-build/releases.

For more information about wma2wav see http://muldersoft.com/ or https://github.com/lordmulder/wma2wav/releases.

 

BUGS

The program screen output does not look that clean as desired.

The final error message that says the file cannot be closed can be ignored.
