Best free app to convert WMA to MP3 for iTunes

My two go-to converters are:

https://www.mediahuman.com/audio-converter/

free

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xld/

free

Both have the advantage of being able to convert multiple files in a row instead of one by one using VLC (I have not seen a batch feature on VLC but maybe I am missing it).

I have long used XLD. I am not sure about its continued longevity. Some comments mention it using Intel coding which is on its way out with Macs (fall, 2027). We'll have to see if it gets arm coding.

If you have an iPhone, use that to record the audio. The audio recorder app is built in

As for WMA file conversion options, VLC (free) can do that: https://www.vlchelp.com/convert-audio-format/

Thanks. So if I ditched my current voice recorder where do I find the audio recorder on my iPhone? Will is record for 2 hours and will it be clear?

It’ll record as much audio as you have free storage on your iPhone.

(I don’t immediately recall the amount of storage required per hour of recording, but it's easy enough to test.)

To make your own decision on the available recording clarity, review the settings and options available and try it, and particularly try it in parallel to your existing recording practices.

How would I then get that recording into iTunes please? Sorry for additional questions. Thanks

Voice recordings are AAC files, which Music app (the replacement for iTunes) natively supports.
