[Linux-disciples] pho: iTunes question (fwd)

[Adam Kessel]

Any linux tool that can play WMA can play it to a file.  It could be
saved and reconverting or piped into an encoder.

mplayer can play most WMA files, so long as they're not DRM.  You can use
-ao pcm to write the output to a WAV file; see the manpage and
documentation for more detail about how to set it up as a pipe into,
e.g., lame for encoding.
