Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Converting audio files WMA -> MP3/WAV?

Content Type: text/plain

Jerry,

Thanks! It works for some of my files. I get a few errors:

Error while decoding stream #0.0

The resulting .mp3 file seems to play OK. For other files, I get
continuous errors as above.

I need to do more experimentation!

Thanks again.

Tom Brown
