Itunes Convert Wma To Mp3
The only thing I am uncertain is: will it wait until `mplayer' has finished converting?
I'm not so familiar with `tcsh' scripts.
Yes it will. Shell scripts wait for each command to exit before moving on to the next unless you specify otherwise.
It's good to know. Saved me from experimenting! :)
is there a way to 'pipe' this on to itunes or something making an mp3-file out of it? It would be a great thing if you could have a shellscript that you gave a batch of wma:s and it gave you mp3:s in the end....
Convert Mp3 To Apple Itunes
Would it be possible to do the same with a WMA movie file, that is: to convert it to some sort of Quicktime compatible format?
Alright I am just a plain MORON. I tried to convert the file to a WAV. I took out the spaces in the file name but I still could not convert. Anywayss can someone help me please?
Hey, I instelled this but then I went to the terminal and tired to run the command 'mplayer' but it said 'command not found.' I went to /usr/local/bin and a file named mplayer was there, but it still is telling me that the command is not found. I don't know what I did wrong. help?
type 'rehash' or open a new terminal window.

Welcome to Darwin!
[nacho:~] nachobel% cd /usr/local/bin/
[nacho:/usr/local/bin] nachobel% ls
links mplayer pcpmac pgetfinfo pmvmac psetfinfo psync sdl-config
[nacho:/usr/local/bin] nachobel% mplayer
mplayer: Command not found.
[nacho:/usr/local/bin] nachobel% rehash
[nacho:/usr/local/bin] nachobel% mplayer
mplayer: Command not found.
is it executable (does /usr/local/bin/mplayer work?) and is /usr/local/bin in your path?
hey guy
thanks, that helped. I typed /usr/local/bin/mplayer and it worked, and then i just typed mplayer, and that worked too. I don't know why, but hey, that's cool.
Okay, so I have links installed, and /usr/local/bin/links works, but just typing links doesn't. How do I 'get it in my path' or whatever?
on a side note... this didn't work for me when i was trying to convert 'protected' wma's... so.. i used my brain for a bit... and came up with a multi-step solution...
i turned on my windows machine... went in M$ media player (8), queued up my protected wma's and the selected 'copy to cd or device'... WMP then converted the wma's and burned them to a plain old audio cd... i then ejected the cd... put it in my powerbook and then ripped them as mp3's in iTunes...
done and done... wma's never again!!!
Detected audio codec: [divx] drv:4 (DivX audio (WMA)) Requested audio codec family [divx] (vfm=4) not available (enable it at compile time!) Couldn't initialize audio codec! -> nosound Audio: no sound!!! Video: no video!!! Start playing... MPlayer interrupted by signal 10 in module: unknownI assume mplayer crashed because it couldn't find the audio codec. Curious as to why this is as WMP seems to handle the file just fine, does this have to do with the divx encoding?
I don´t have the MPlayer for Darwin, but I use Mplayer for OS X. If you go to its menu and open the open the Preferences, you see in Miscellaneous Settings an Additional Parameters field. In this field, I put the parameter -ao pcm, and I opened the WMA file. In few seconds, the audilump.wav appeared in my Hard Disk.Again, my apologies if I tweaked anything while re-writing...
I imported this file in iTunes and coverted it into MP3 (you can convert to AAC, too).
-rob.
works well with linux too!! my mac has not got the power (captin) to do such a task, so i got my dual athlon 2Gz to help. i modified the script ot use gogo (no coda, i think, check google for it) and after 5 min it had a full albus which was encoded with wma in mp3 format. so both the mac and linux box work with it fine.
Great tip BTW!

you can put the script in a directory in your PATH as well, but its easier IMO to just make an alias to it by typing Note: You can change the options on lame to whatever you want, I just chose a middle of road bitrate preset.
#!/bin/bash
for i in *.wma
do
mplayer -ao pcm:file='${i%.wma}.wav' '$i' && lame --preset standard '${i%.wma}.wav' '${i%.wma}.mp3'
rm '${i%.wma}.wav'
done
It still has one issue though, files with a comma are renamed wrong, ie. everything after the comma is missing. I have not troubleshooted this further yet. Convert Wma To Apple Format
I couldn't get MPlayer to work properly, but VLC can do it as well.You need to run the VLC executable from the command line, as follows:
path_to_VLC/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC file_to_convert.WMA --aout file
This will create a file called audiofile.wavHow To Convert Wma Files To Mp3 On Mac Itunes
in the current directory. I think you need to quit VLC manually after it's done.---

I'm trying to avoid asking my Son for help, so please bear with me. I found a .wav file on the Net that I would like on my iPod. How do I capture the .wav file then transfer it to iTunes?
Thanks!
