Hi Alison
It's a while since I have done this. What I think  need to do is add the wma 
files to your library. iTunes will then give you the option to convert the 
files. When you agree, new versions of the files will be created in your iTunes 
library. As I said, it is a while since I have had to do this.

Hi Alison.

Yes, the program is very easy to use and I believe has a help file; beware 
though, as it is a free tool, it may try to offer to download additional 
products during the setup process as well as browser extensions; I've been 
caught out before when using this program's installer so make sure you read all 
the installation steps thoroughly.

All the best and good luck, Ibrahim.

This is very helpful. Thank you.
Will the programme explain what steps I need to take?

NCH Switch Sound Converter is a tool very popular amongst the blindness 
community to quickly convert audio files from one format to another.  iTunes 
does not natively support WMA (Windows Media Audio) format as it is a 
proprietary format developed by Microsoft, so if you want to import WMA audio 
files into iTunes, you need to convert them hence the use of such a tool as 
Switch.  It comes in a free and paid version, you can find the NCH software 
downloads page for audio tools here:
https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nch.com.au%2Fsoftware%2Faudio.html&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C0d6435b677e3440f9eb708d6b4f36362%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636895354764454609&amp;sdata=M1GyudnhygvedldDCJFjFj7DiCzgMQSTNvn6Bm4N9Fg%3D&amp;reserved=0
Hope this answers your question.

I have some songs in wma format which iTunes will not play. Can I 
convert these to mp3?
