What is WMDB file?
The WMDB (Windows Media DataBase) file extension is associated with Microsoft Windows. WMDB files are created by Windows Media Player application. These files contain data about the user’s music library in the form of metadata, such as album, artist, and song title. The information stored in a WMDB file can be accessed and organised within Windows Media Player. It is useful for creating customised music libraries and playlists. [ ⏩ ] WMDB file extension
What is WMZ file?
The WMZ file type is a compressed Skin file used in Windows Media Player. Skin files contain the graphics and layout information used to personalize the look and feel of the media player. This format is a compressed version of the standard WMP Skin file, but is still compatible with WMP. The file type (.wmz) is created by compressing the original WMP Skin file (.wms) using a compression format such as Zip or gzip. This allows users to easily share their custom Skin files with others.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from WMDB to WMZ?
To successfully convert the WMDB file to WMZ, 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.WMDB). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case WMZ (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 WMZ).
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. WMDB to WMZ. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting WMDB files to WMZ 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 WMZ, while before this step we had the WMDB file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new WMZ file, or not.
