I need to transcribe some audio files. The original format is .WMA. I've tried using both:
ffmpeg -i some.WMA some.wav
and
pacpl -to wav some.WMA some.wav
as well as exporting with Audacity to mp3.
I've updated to the newest ffmpeg. The problem (despite the error message) doesn't seem to be the conversion.
Namely,
file some.wav
shows
some.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz
and I still get the same resulting error message when trying to play some.wav (.mp3) with playitslowly:
** (app.py:31502): WARNING **: cannot set NULL uri
** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-wma, wmaversion=(int)2, bitrate=(int)128016, depth=(int)16, rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2, block_align=(int)5945, codec_data=(buffer)009000000f0039170000
(How) can I remedy this?
