Windows Media Audio (WMA) files use a proprietary format developed by Microsoft and used by media players built into Windows, like the Windows Media Player. Many other, better, players don’t support WMA files, but they’re easy enough to convert to something different.

Windows Media Audio(WMA)文件使用Microsoft专有的格式，供Windows内置的媒体播放器(如Windows Media Player)使用。 许多其他更好的播放器不支持WMA文件，但是它们很容易转换为其他格式。

Because of the proprietary nature of the WMA format, there’s not much reason not to convert them into a more widely used format—like MP3. Even if you use Windows Media Player, it can still play MP3 files. And having your files in MP3 means that you’ve got a lot more options for playing them, including different apps and platforms.

由于WMA格式的专有性，没有太多理由不将其转换为更广泛使用的格式(例如MP3)。 即使您使用Windows Media Player，它仍然可以播放MP3文件。 而且，将文件保存在MP3中意味着您有更多的播放选项，包括不同的应用程序和平台。

使用VLC Player将WMA文件转换为MP3 (Convert WMA Files to MP3 with VLC Player)

VLC is a free and open source media player that opens almost any file format and has an option for converting your audio files. It’s one of our favorites here at How-to Geek because not only is it free, it’s cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS) and very capable.
