Hi guys, while i know WMA is not the best yada yada yada.... this is not a request for me but for a friend of mine that still insists on transferring wma to his ihp120 instead of going the EAC + LAME route that i am suggesting. Anyway i recently got him to switch and now he has a mac and wants to transfer over some music he bought to his new ihp120. Problem is when he asked me what app to use to encode wma i hadn't got a clue for the mac. Is there a quick and easy app out there for the mac that encodes wma that will also keep the id3 tags???
thanks

Not that I have heard of. Either tell him he's retarded or get a new friend ;-)

Well... Apple Answered his prayers today. Nab the newest iTunes and have yourself a ball.

Actually, they didn't. iTunes can import WMA, but it doesn't actually play WMA files outright; it converts them to a real format first.
I have to admit, it seems rather odd to me that Apple would do it this way. One would think that is they were going to make iTunes handle WMA, they'd add the ability to play it outright. Perhaps there is some legal thing going on?

You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

iTunes for Windows doesn't convert WMAs to AAC either. It just calls on Microsoft Windows Media to play the audio file and then iTunes re-encodes it. That's why the Mac iTunes can't do it--because Windows Media Player for the Mac doesn't' allow the same kind of control.

I love being right!
