Hi,
Does anyone know how I might go about converting "Windows media audio files" into mp3s? Or if I uploaded some wma files to this site, would somebody else be able to convert them off here? Thanks!

I still recommend these tools
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2648#p11551
but all windows based audio converters should be able to convert wma to mp3.

I use foobar as a player (
http://www.foobar2000.org/download ) with lame.exe as mp3 encoder (

best regards,

Thanks Yeppie, the free player works fine. Item #2 on my glitch list is, I don't seem to have a way of playing minidiscs out loud (only earphones). My computer's microphone is never going to pick that up!

Minidiscs, really?
That brings back memories. I think you can connect the earphone plug with the line-in of your computer´s soundcard - if it got a line-in jack.

Oi, don't mock the mighty minidisc. I loved that format until Sony went DRM crazy. Got a big stack of minidiscs here containing many, many captures of a much, much younger Sc0tt. I really need to digitize them before the minidiscs start crumbling into dust, but have never found a drive-based solution to get my hands directly on the files, and recording all of these in real time would be such a ballbuster.

I loved my minidisc recorder, too.
Please just begin recording these recordings
. Once they are digitized, you can leave them on your hdd until you find some more time for editing. You might enjoy listening to young Sc0tt´s deeds.
