Convert WMA to iPod Audio — Free Online Converter

WMA to iPod Audio conversion transcodes Windows Media Audio into AAC/M4A format for Apple iPod devices. No iPod model has ever supported WMA playback — the format war between Microsoft and Apple ensured permanent incompatibility. Converting to AAC is the only way to play WMA music on any iPod, and AAC is actually the optimal iPod format with hardware decoding for maximum battery life.

Our converter uses FFmpeg to decode the WMA stream and encode as AAC at a bitrate balanced for iPod's audio hardware and storage capacity, producing M4A output that syncs seamlessly through iTunes.

iPods play AAC, MP3, ALAC, WAV, and AIFF. They do not play WMA. This has been true since the original iPod in 2001 and remained true through the final iPod touch in 2022. For anyone with WMA music who wants to use an iPod, conversion is mandatory.

AAC is the preferred conversion target over MP3 because it provides better audio quality at the same bitrate and is the iPod's native format — hardware-decoded for optimal battery consumption.
