My girlfriend accidently bought an audio book on the internet and she saved it on my hard disk in windows media audio format (.wma
) and now she asks me how to listen to it. I'm a bit puzzled this format still survived.
I'm on ArchLinux, kernel 4.2.1-1-ARCH
. My first idea was simply trying to read it with VLC as it usually is a general problem solver for audio files and comes with a couple of codecs. But it didn't work.
Second idea was converting, I usually use Audacity for quick format swaps, but after several attempts of exporting to ogg/vorbis
or ogg/opus
I noticed Audacity already failed to read the proprietary file format.
I looked up the codecs section on arch wiki but it does not contain any hints for WMA. How to proceed?
How to convert audio/x-ms-wma
to audio/ogg
, audio/vorbis
, or audio/opus
format?
