Ivan, haven't actually tried the conversion tool, but have used the player component to play wmv in Quicktime apps & it works well.

Flip4mac claims - "They are components for QuickTime that add Windows Media format support to your favorite QuickTime-based applications."

Check it out:

Hope it helps.

Thanks, I tried the demo and it works well. I'll give the full version a go and give feedback.

I have been using this for a little while and it seems to work well in conjunction with QT Pro for conversion.

Now what I really need is a way to convert a load of WM music files to MP3 or similar for importing into iTunes. I have been surching for agfes to find something that works well with very little success so far.

I have tried this in the past and it creates empty mp3/m4a files that are always 8k.

I just payed for the new version, tried a couple of test files and the same happened. Has anyone actually had any successs with this?

And yes it creates empty files once in a while, but in general it works fine. I always thought that WM files were at fault rather than the software itself. Not sure though...

In that case all 563 of my girlfriends WMA files are faulty and will not convert :(

Serves her tight for using Windows Media Player in the first place.

I know this thread is ancient but recently came across this Mac software that converts wma to mp3. Called Switch, get it from here:
