About WMA files
WMA is Windows Media Audio, a format from Microsoft. Windows Media Player used it for CD rips for many years, so old music folders and old voice recorders are often full of WMA files.
People convert WMA to MP3 because phones, Macs, car stereos and most modern apps do not play WMA. MP3 keeps the collection usable on any device.
