Title: converting wma to mp3 with mj plus
Post by: yad on March 06, 2005, 12:03:01 am

I can't convert my wma files to mp3 in mj plus.

This chart on your web site says that encoding mp3 is unrescricted...

But mj plus says that wma is an unsupported format.

what is wrong?

 ?

WMA conversion is no longer supported in MJ due to licensing restrictions.

JRiver Media Center will still convert WMA files that are NOT copy protected.

i think it also may depend if your using the newer windows media player, i think back then they were using media player 7, If you have a newer media player from microsoft installed it may not work.

thx for the input.   I was able to convert the files to mp3 by booting my computer into my Win 2000 Server installation and running mj from there.  Windows media is an older version  with that os.  So in your face Microsoft!   ;D
