I attempted to convert my .wma files to .mp3 files using Plus! file converter, but my computer failed the conversion because "it used an unrecognized codec". How can I fix this codec problem and convert my songs? I am running Windows XP Home edition.

Some general info here:

A good codec pack here:

so what do i do? just download one of the programs?

I cannot find any specifics on Plus! file converter. Is that the full name of the program? Does it support .wma to .mp3 conversion? If not then you would need another program. If Plus! does support this conversion & you are just missing the proper codec try the Codec Pack that I linked to.

the name is "PLus! audio converter". it says the .wma file i have "uses an recognized codec"
