Heres how to convert these files easily.
REQUIREMENTS:
mplayer
lame
1. create a text file called wmamp3 in your ~/
2. Open the file in your favorite editor and enter the following
Code:
#!/bin/bash
current_directory=$( pwd )
#remove spaces
for i in *.wma; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr ' ' '_'`; done
#remove uppercase
for i in *.[Ww][Mm][Aa]; do mv "$i" `echo $i | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`; done
#Rip with Mplayer / encode with LAME
for i in *.wma ; do mplayer -vo null -vc dummy -af resample=44100 -ao pcm -waveheader $i && lame -m s audiodump.wav -o $i; done
#convert file names
for i in *.wma; do mv "$i" "`basename "$i" .wma`.mp3"; done
rm audiodump.wav
3. Save the file
4. In a console, give the command
Code:
chmod +x ~/wmamp3
5. as root, copy the file to your exec path (/usr/bin or /bin)
6. Now you can change to the directory containing your WMA files and give the command
Code:
wmamp3
It usually takes approx 30 seconds to convert a 4 min long file.
well i hope this has helped, if there are any improvements or comments please just let me know.
this process can be used for any tipe of media that your mplayer can play, including extracting the audio from video files (mov, wmv mpg etc)
im planning to make a GUI frontend to this using something like xdialog, ill need to learn a bit but it should come one day

These are the real player 9 codecs. Look here for other codecs. Extract the codecs and put them in /usr/local/lib/codecs. MPlayer can convert to WAV, the script uses lame to convert the wav to mp3.
LinuxQuestions.org is looking for people interested in writing
Editorials, Articles, Reviews, and more. If you'd like to contribute
content, let us know.
in the script, just change references to *.wma to *.rm or whatever the extension is
but i tried that too
the problem with me i think is of appropriate plugins
i got the "all "and "esential" packages of plugins form mplayer's site
what else do i need in plugins??

and install the realmedia codecs, i havent used these as i apt-get the win32codecs package in debian
It *should* work with realmedia, i mean the process is basically the same, i think. I looked here for more info:
