WMA File Converter

WMA uses a proprietary codec that supports multiple audio channels and various bit rates, including lossless compression with WMA Lossless. The format integrates well with Windows-based software and devices, though its compatibility outside the Windows ecosystem can be limited without additional codecs or players.

WMA files are commonly used for both music and spoken audio content such as podcasts. Interestingly, Microsoft introduced WMA as a competitor to the MP3 format, aiming to deliver better sound quality at similar or smaller file sizes.
