Hi,
I looking for a solution to play wma files and do something else at the same time on my iPad, like writing notes about what I'm listening to).
I have lectures recored in wma file type that I want to play while listening to the audio... I can playback wma files, using VLC, which is fine until I switch to another task at which point the audio stops playing (so much for multitasking, I suppose VLC was designed mainly for video, so why would you be doing anything else?) .
Q: Is there an app out there that will play wma files like the iPod does audio?
If not,
what about converting the files to mp3 for something else that iTunes recognises?
I see that there are various paid applications for converting wma files to mp3, but I don't see why I should need to pay, when I can use handbrake or realplayer convert to convert video file types for free (I am a poor student).
Q: Is there a free converter for changing an audio file from wma to mp3 out there?
cheers....
