wma conversion with Apple OS X

[ChrisT]

Dear dBpoweramp users, dear illustrate Team,

I just purchased the Apple version of Reference R15. My major concern is the conversion of Windows Media Audio files to something usable, preferably aif. Seems like I can't do that.
Are the Codec Central Add Ons available ONLY for Windows OS? Am I stuck to the codecs provided within the package? No Encoder for wma? Please help.

with kind regards,
Chris

Correct, Microsoft created the WMA codec and it is not available on other platforms other than Windows.

But VLC can handle WMA on Mac OS X

Yes it can, they have a reverse engineered decoder, we would not implement such sorry, only the official Microsoft ones.
