i have a client who wants me to convert my audio files (aiff) to *sigh* wma files.
anyone know a freeware or shareware app to do this?
(besides cleaner...$$$!)


thanx

Change the file's extension to .wma. It'll play fine in Windows Media Player, and he won't know the difference.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

How 'bout this ? (for 29.95) You'd have to find a windows box (or a friend with a windows box or virtual PC) to run it though. Maybe tell them that you'll give them the software for free as long as they let you do the necessary conversion.

[edit] another idea is to look for windows (or mac) shareware that gives you X number of free conversions. This has worked for me in a pinch once or twice.
