Hello,

Story: I have audiobooks 32Kbps (radio quality), but my walkman SE W800 doesn't support wma, so I think reencode it to AAC

Question: How to reencode wma to aac easy way? I know about lost guality, it is acceptable for audiobooks.

Problem 1. I try besweet/belight/nero_aac, but there probably decode problems (repeat many times in log):Stream error : Sync found after 47551 bytes

Problem 2. When I decoded manually wma to wav, and then decode to aac (via belight/nero_aac), I got file file 2 times longer time and voice is very slow (outstretched) in it?

BeSweet don't support wma input.

And the wav sound right or sound like the aac?

So, I instaled iTunes (generally, I don't like heavyweight players).
There drag and drob *.wma files to iTunes display confirmation dialog, I click "convert" and iTunes converting files to aac format. It's simple.
Before in advanced settings/importing I set "spoken quality" - 32 kbps/channel.

I got recoded files in same size, bitrare, only Sample Rate: changed from 44100 to 22050
