Tim:
I'm quite surprised that there was a "free" WMA plug-in.
Rahul Sundaram:
Why? ffmpeg supports pretty much everything, these days.
I was surprised that there was any sort of legal free codec for a
Microsoft Windows Media Audio format. I'd expect it to be encumbered up
to the hilt.
Do not be mistaken. WMA is patented, proprietary, and closed-source.
FFMPEG is not legal in the USA. Ideally you should convert any WMA over
to at least MP3 and at best OGG Vorbis or FLAC.
There's nothing stopping you from using ffmpeg though. I'm just
mentioning the facts.
