What is WMA file?
The WMA (WMA) file extension is a Windows Media Audio file format developed by Microsoft Corporation for the Windows Media platform. It is a lossy audio format that compresses and encodes audio data to reduce its file size without negatively impacting the sound quality. In short, WMA files offer better sound fidelity than other compressed formats, particularly at higher bitrates. WMA files are typically used for streaming audio over the internet or downloading music from online music stores. [ ⏩ ] WMA file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from APE to WMA?
To successfully convert the APE file to WMA, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.APE). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case WMA (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than WMA).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. APE to WMA. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting APE files to WMA files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension WMA, while before this step we had the APE file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new WMA file, or not.
