How to Convert M4a to WMA Free

Files that use the MPEG 4 Audio (M4a) encoding scheme contain sound effects or full songs. The M4a encoding scheme, which is also known as the Apple Lossless format, is primarily meant for use with the Apple iTunes program. If you have a program that will play Windows Media Audio (WMA) files but not M4a files, you must convert the file type first. Take advantage of a free conversion utility to make the conversion process easier.
