Method 3: Convert WMV to MP3 in Audacity

With "FFmpeg Library" installed, the world-renowned, free and cross-platform audio editor, Audacity can also serve as a WMV to MP3 converter. You're advised to update Audacity to the latest version from https://www.audacityteam.org/, either because LAME MP3 Encoder has been pre-installed or there has been a massive purge of bugs, with over 160 fixes to make Audacity more reliable and robust than ever.

Step 1. Run Audacity, click "Edit" button on top menu bar and open "Preferences" window.

Step 2. Go to "Libraries" option on the left sidebar. Press "Download" button and follow the instructions to install "FFmpeg Library", otherwise, you'll fail to import the WMV file.

Step 4. Click "File" > "Export" > "Export as MP3", change MP3 name, quality, channel mode at will. Finally, click "Save" button to convert WMV to MP3.

Method 4: WMV to MP3 Converter Online

Most people tend to convert WMV to MP3 online without any plug-in or software required. It does help save a lot of trouble and bring a convenient way to complete the conversion. You just upload the WMV files > select MP3 as output format > wait for the uploading and converting process > save the converted MP3 files to local drive.

But in my humble opinion, it's not a desirable way as you have to be confronted with possible privacy and security issues. More than that, it may not be that so efficient due to the limitation of file size, the website server and your Internet connection. But if you insist on that, I've made a list of some reliable online video converters for your reference.
