How do I convert asf to aac even mp3 would do did a search and came up with

tried so many including the two most recommended here under

this topic as the closest wma to avi

they offer
Mencoder OSX 0.7.7

and

ffmpeg

ffmpeg comes as tar.gz and the folder stuffit extracted from it I don't know where to put it and I am supposed to "make the file do I use terminal for this not a unix expert

Mencode won't even download adn the review aren't inspiring either

So how do I convert asf to mp3 or aac without using a windows solution, which are not that much better it must be said still no working program ?

EasyWMA is a nifty little ffmpeg wrapper. If you read the FAQ sections at the bottom of the above link, it describes the creation of small or zero-byte files as usually indicating either a copy protected file or an unsupported codec.

If worse comes to worse, you can always just manually record the audio with WireTap and convert to any format you like.

There's also an MEncoder wrapper called DivxWMAConverter that basically takes any file, passes through the video and converts the audio to mp3 (all to avi). Sometimes it gives up halfway through though, with no warning, and you get an incomplete file.
