Forum:Music files

I try to upload a music file in a WMA extension, and get a message "Warning: WMA is not a recommended format for saving images".

I get this message even when I check "ignore all warnings" in the upload page.

How can I upload this file?

(my wikia is: http://he.judaism.wikia.com )
 * I don't think there is a way past this. I think that this happens when certain file types are blocked.  Maybe you could convert it to an Ogg Vorbis file and then re upload it.  I think that this type of file is allowed.  Either that or maybe you could ask some staff to upload it directly into the server or something.  Or you could upload it to another site and link to it.  --Leon  (talk ) 23:14, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Do you know how to convert from wma to ogg?

(BTW, I get the same error for mp3 files)


 * You need a conversion program. Googling "Ogg Vorbis Converter" gave me a million links. Most programs seem to be in th $20 range, with a few free ones. FreeRIP is the first one I came across, but I'm sure there are others. Tjoneslo 17:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I prefer Audacity when converting into OGGs. It's free. (I'm sorry if this is taken as advertising.) – Smiddle 19:25, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
