If your having problems with the protection on a WMA file that's keeping you from converting them I would suggest you go to this site http://wind.prohosting.com/danny187 the prog is called unfck.exe it's only 80kb but it can relieve alot of headaches if you know what i mean
good luck

but don't you lose quality during re-encoding?
 
I find it better to just get a wma codec for your player...nothing wrong with wma

That only applies to analog mediums such as tape or vinyl copying. Digital information to different compression methods don't vary in sound quality unless you purposely choose a different compression rate.

I dont believe you
 
even saving a .jpg twice will lose quality.

I'm sorry. I thought we were talking about AUDIO and SOUND. Are we including digital photographs and digital video and other vaguely related mediums as well? I was answering the question about encoding/re-encoding and the simple answer is: no...no sound quality loss.

no - I was using it as an example
 
I would like to know how it is possible to encode an mp3 with out losing quality as it is a lossy compression, as in wma

Depends really on the encoder, ive seen encoders that lose very little in the encoding process and ive seen other ones, musicmatch for instance that really suck at converting files and not losing quality. It all comes down to the compression logarithm more than anything in the end.

you always lose a lot of quality OR get huge files.
