How to convert .wma format data to mp3 format, on the fly?

[mahendra_g]

Hi
All
I am first time using ffmpeg library.
I have one http site which have live music like FM.
But the music file in .wma format and my media player just support .mp3 format. So I am not able to play .wma file.
So i need to convert .wma format data to mp3 format, on the fly.
Please suggest,How can I convert it ? and which API is useful for this process?
or suggest any example...

Thanks
Mahendra

Audacity can't do that.

Are you talking about streaming .wma or .wma file downloads?
For converting .wma files to .mp3 files you can use SUPER by erightsoft.

If your computer can handle it, you can record "live" from the internet, but it's not a format conversion. You're just "borrowing" the audio from the sound card and capturing it in Audacity.

Not all computers support this -- especially the newer ones. If yours doesn't, then you need a dedicated software package like Total Recorder.

<<<SO ,i need sample example or API name for streaming .wma to convert .mp3,on the fly>>>

So this has nothing to do with Audacity.

If your wma files are common audio files, SUPER can easily handle with it.

but it comes with drm, you can take this tutorial as reference to [link removed]

Thanks for posting windbell, but circumventing DRM is possibly illegal so we need to be very careful not to endorse it.
Users may find out more about DRM from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management (or other sources) and make up their own mind.
