wma to mp3 conversion

[devakila]

Hello there, i downloaded all it needs to convert wma on my harddrive to mp3. Somehow, wma is not listed under 'Converting' in the File Selector. The downloads didn't change anything about that. What to do? Thank you

Did you reboot after installing the system codecs?

Yes, i did reboot the system and checked everythig again, downloaded all older versions form dbpoweramp and rebootet evereytime.
It's simply that it doesn't show up on my PC (under XP).

Can you see those codecs in a simple dMC run, not going through File Selector?

Are you signed in as administrator and were you signed in as administartor when you installed all of the dBpowerAMP programs?

Is everything installed to the same folder? it shuold be c:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP\ as proposed by the installer unless you changed it - but then you'd have to be consistent with the other installations conerning dBpowerAMP components.

Yes, the most problem I find with installing codecs is that sometimes people install them to the wrong locations. Make sure you installed to the correct directory, or default directory, if possible.

Can you believe it. I downloaded all the files and updates...but didn't not install them. Somehow that passed me by unnoticed. Now it seems to work, it's in progress right now. Thanks for bearing with me.
How long should it regularly take to convert from wma to mp3 (128 bit), say for a reg. 700 mb cd?

it all depended on your computer specs. What are your computers specs, by the way?
