Oct 16, 2012 1:12 PM in response to shuddhaby varjak paw,If you don't want to use a non-Apple converter, then there's nothing you can do. Apple's software does not natively play WMA nor WMV content (if QuickTime plays it, you must have either the Flip4Mac codec or Perian, both third-party products), nor does any Apple software on Mac OS X have the ability to convert WMA to a format iTunes can handle.
Regards.

Oct 16, 2012 1:28 PM in response to shuddhaby shuddha,★HelpfulI found it !
I posted the question, and I have the answer!
These wma files play QuickTime
So as soon as they are playing, save them say in a Quick time folder
Then right click that file
An otion will be given to conver to mp3 or AAC file
Go for the mp3 file. It then opens an internal converter
Drag the file there and Presto
It converts.
Please make sure you have the latest iTunes and Quicktime software update.
Best wishes

Oct 16, 2012 2:09 PM in response to shuddhaby Limnos,If they are playing in Quicktime on a Mac and converting then you must have the advanced version of Flip4mac installed. There is no other way to play them (unless your computer is 10+ years old and running old software).

Dec 2, 2012 8:45 PM in response to shuddhaby TonyAcree,Converting WMA Files
In iTunes for Windows, you can convert your unprotected WMA files to AAC files (or whatever file format is chosen in the Importing pane of iTunes Preferences) without changing the original WMA file. Simply drag the WMA files into your library in iTunes and iTunes does the grunt work, converting them for you. Windows Media Player 9 or later must be installed to convert unprotected WMA files. Protected WMA files cannot be converted.

Dec 10, 2012 5:17 PM in response to shuddhaby Chaitanya,★HelpfulFission wouldn't do it.
Toast wouldn't do it.
Osx certainly wouldn't do it.
Switch required a $29.99 purchase to do it.
But Adapter did so without the slightest trouble or cost, and it was faster than any other converter I've used.
Converts Video as well.
Enjoy!

Jan 29, 2013 4:43 AM in response to shuddhaby Evansvid,Assuming that they are not DRM protected files, If you're on Windows XP, iTunes will convert it when you import. No need for another program to convert it. For Mac, The latest version of iTunes should have the capability of importing them, however, you may have to convert them to AAC using iTunes. It is in the menues somewhere. I use a program called MP3 Converter for Mac, it converts wma to mp3. You can try that.

May 10, 2013 11:04 PM in response to shuddhaby JBirdseye,I was looking for a more direct way to do this, but this what I've done.
10.6.8, Perian and Flip4Mac are installed. Quicktime 7 Pro.
In QT > Export > Aif. Convert AIF in itunes.

Thank you for sharing

Aug 2, 2013 6:33 AM in response to shuddhaby Akominatus,I hate to spoil this chorus of approval for Adapter, but I had the same problem of listening to .wma audio files in iTunes. Sadly, Adapter keeps coming up with the error message "Unable to load source file - song 01.wma is not a valid video, audio or image file"...

Aug 15, 2013 12:37 AM in response to shuddhaby Dar Mah,I downloaded the free MediaHuman Audio converter by which you can very easily convert "wma" files to mp3 or else. The converted file will be stored in "music/converted by MediaHuman/, and can then be added to iTunes Library, or it can be used by mp3 players. All very easy & straight forward.
