Software Easywma converter on mac suddenly won't read my olympus wma files anymore when converting. Switched in another recorder (same model) just to be sure it wasn't a corrupt file and same problem. Downloaded new software Switch and SAME problem. How can I get my files converted and into Itunes safely? Thanks

    Excellent response, was able to check files in VLC program which proved playable (non corrupt) so then installed new Flipmac (i'm assuming that's what a codec pack is) from your link and tested a wma file again in my conversion program which is easyWMA and no more red dots! Flipmac was the software needed to recode those files so easyWMA easily then converted and dropped files into iTunes! Thank you!

    Excellent response! VLC played the WMA files perfectly so went to download the Flipmac program from your link and that re-coded the files so my software converter (easyWMA) could read them again. No more red dots! WHEW! Thanks so much for your info!

You must first make sure that the files are indeed good. Install VLC (which doesn't needs external codecs)
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
and try to play the wma files with it. If it fails then the files are corrupted. If it works then either the codec pack has been removed - reinstall it from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=915D874D-D747-4180-A400-5F06B1B5E559&displaylang=en
or the files were coded in a format Easywma can't support - like the lossless and voice one, or with DRM. If it's the last case then configure the recorders accordingly.

Converting wma files to wav files on olympus DDS player version 7

When using the DSS Player v7 software the program is unable to convert WMA to WAV. The option you see there only works when it is a .dss file that needs to be converted to .wav. In order to convert WMA to WAV you will need to locate a third party software program that does this type of conversion.

Go to google and search on WMA to WAV conversion editors.

My mp3 Doesn't play some files

Your Muro is an Mp3 player. do you have reason to think it can play Wma's? you can get several converters here http://www.wma-mp3.com/, but i can't tell you if any of them are for free. this one should be for free, but you'll need to check and see if it works for you - http://www.download.com/EasyWMA/3000-2199_4-10404979.html?tag=lst-0-4
