Convert Format from MP3 to Windows Media (WMA) Not Working

I'm guessing that the file plays fine in MC (meaning it can decode it). Maybe a bad install of MC?

Thanks for trying to help out. I really like MC but struggle to get the correct performance out of it mainly because of the complicated procedure needed for some things.
I had this working good until about 3-4 months ago where it just won't convert files. I use my creative sound card as a recorder and create a WAV file, but when I go to convert it, it won't convert unless I do a go around

I just want to make sure the 3rd party software you're using isn't doing something strange to the wav file.
Try This...
Find any audio file that's not wav, test file to make sure it plays inside MC. Convert this into wav and convert the wav into mp3. If the original file you are converting to is mp3, be careful that you don't overwrite the original. Maybe copy the file to a different location first.
If the conversion fails, something is wrong with MC. I'd suggest uninstalling and reinstalling, might fix what ever is wrong.

Thank You very much for your suggestion to uninstall/reinstall that seemed to work. I was hesitant to try this because I usually screw up something along the way.
Thanks again for your help!!

worked like a charm for me. There was another ".mui" file in my old backup folder, so I took that over too. Put them directly into the MC22 program folder at (by default on an x64 system) "C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 22", closed and restarted MC and MC server, converts a treat to wma lossless.
If wma is your thing ? ;), you'll want to keep a copy of these safe, as they may not be preserved across MC updates, meaning you will have to copy them back afterwards. There's a plugin folder in our library directories and I tried placing them there as they might be better preserved, but they don't work in there.
JRiver may come up with a fix for this issue, they may not, but in the meantime, I put a copy of the three files that are working for me here <-- They might work for you too.

Thanks marko - this and your zipfile fixed my issue. I use JRiver because most of my music is flac and the rest is misc mp3 / m4a / wmv. At home, no issue. But I need to copy stuff for use on the move - both on a Windows Phone and via USB drive in my car (the JVC in the car doesn't do flac - plus for the phone, usb and cloud access via OneDrive, conversion to "best possible" VBR WMV keeps space / data use manageable.)
I noticed the JRiver flac > wma stopped working some months ago but didn't have the time to do anything. Using the Xmas break, I started again and spent hours trying different combinations in Options and just encountered the head / brick wall interface. Should have searched the forum first :)
Now I did, found this and it works for me, thank you and Merry Xmas.

Thanks for all this. For whatever reason, this is not working for me.
