advanced wma mp3 converter

I recently got a program called advanced wma mp3 converter so that I can convert my wma files to mp3 format. The program allows you to convert the files in batches which is what I am doing but I get the message "Could not QI for IWMDRM Reader (hr=0x80004002)" before every track and I have to click OK before it will convert the track. If anyone has any knowledge on why I am getting this message and how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Converting wma files to mp3's isn't a good idea as the resulting mp3 files will have alot of quality lost. if you ripped them to wma from cd's then just re-rip to mp3. use the link in my sig for EAC. or if they are downloaded then try and download them in mp3 format. but if you still want to convert them to mp3 then a program called dbpoweramp can do this.

 

thanks for the info, I am just going to rerip them as mp3's.

 

good idea. be sure to use EAC (Exact Audio Copy). it is proven to be the best mp3 ripper around.

 

yup. here's the guide on how to setup and use EAC & LAME:

Hey scoop, how long have you been using EAC?

 

I would say at least three years, probably closer to four. Before that I used cdEX, so I have had to go back and re-rip all my CDs with EAC.

 

How many did you have to re-rip?

 

A few hundred. I'm still in the process of organizing them and properly tagging them with T&R. They're scattered all over my computer...a never ending process LOL

 

LOL, it must be an annoying process.
