Many users still remember the days when the standard "Universal Player" was the main program for viewing video on a computer. It did not shine with functionality, and it did not differ in friendliness towards inexperienced users. Only in 2000, Microsoft introduced the Windows Media Player 7 application to the public.
It differed from its predecessor not only in convenience, but also in the fact that the WMA format created by the company itself appeared in it. What is it and where can it be used? As we already said, it was developed in the "dungeons" of Microsoft, where by then they had already completely realized that they could not fight the victorious procession of MP3s., , . «» WMA, «» Windows. , .

Microsoft: , «» , WMA MP3 . , 1995 , , «» , .

Thus, it makes little sense to convert WMA to MP3 , because thanks to Microsoft's persistence, this codec, along with competing formats, is supported by all devices and programs for playing digital music. In addition, as a result of such conversion, the sound quality can deteriorate significantly, which is unlikely to please you.
