WMA to AAC Converter
Upgrade your legacy WMA audio files to the modern standard of AAC. Ensure playback on all modern devices, web browsers, and streaming platforms.
Why Convert WMA to AAC
Windows Media Audio (WMA) was a giant of the 2000s, but today standard-compliant formats rule the world. AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is the successor to MP3 and offers superior sound quality at similar bitrates. Converting WMA to AAC allows you to unlock your old audio files from the Windows ecosystem and use them anywhere—from smart TVs and gaming consoles to web applications and mobile devices.
AAC is the standard format for YouTube, iPhone, Android, and most digital broadcasting. By standardizing your library to raw AAC, you ensure that your audio is ready for professional use, development projects, or simply future-proofing your listening experience against the obsolescence of older formats.

What is the difference between converting to AAC or M4A?
Both contain the same audio data. .aac is the raw audio stream, often used by developers or specific hardware. .m4a is the container that holds the audio, better for music players because it supports tagging (artist, album, cover art).
