# WMA to MP3

ToolSugar converts Windows Media Audio files to MP3 on your device, with no upload. We have tested standard WMA 2 files, the most common kind. Files protected with DRM are encrypted and not supported. WMA Pro and WMA Lossless have not been tested. The first run downloads a 32 MB engine from a public CDN.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Choose the .wma file.
2. Pick a bitrate, 192 kbps is the default.
3. Press convert to MP3.
4. If you see an error, the file may be DRM protected.

## Key facts

- **Tested with**: WMA version 2 files.
- **Not supported**: DRM protected WMA, often from old music stores. We have no such file to test, so expect an error or unusable sound.
- **Not tested**: WMA Pro, WMA Lossless and WMA Voice.

## Common uses

- Bringing a CD collection ripped with Windows Media Player onto a phone.
- Opening old recordings on a Mac or Linux computer.
- Moving an old music archive into a format with a long future.

## Questions

### How do I know if my WMA has DRM?

Try it and listen to the result. Your original is not changed. Files bought from old online stores are the most likely to be locked, and encrypted audio cannot be decoded.

### Can this tool remove DRM?

No. It only converts files it is able to read.
