Unfortunately the file I received and want to convert is ".wmv" and the
above applications apparently don't support wmv? This .wmv file is only
audio, no images?
I can play this .wmv audio file with vlc but then I need a way to record
it as something else such as .wav which I can then compress to ogg or mp3.
Lame does produce an mp3 file but it looks like white noise when
displayed with Audacity. Aplayer also produces a blast of white noise
in the loudspeaker.
I thank you for the suggestions though ...
