The codec to encode the audio track. Codec "Without reencoding" copies the audio stream from the input file into output without re-encoding if possible.
Set the constant bitrate for the audio track. Leaving this setting to "Auto" will automatically choose a bitrate to achieve a decent quality based on the source audio.
Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).

3g2

3G2 (3GPP2 file format) is a multimedia container developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 for use on CDMA2000 mobile networks. Built on the ISO base media file format (MPEG-4 Part 12), it stores video encoded with H.263 or MPEG-4 Visual alongside audio in AMR, EVRC, or AAC codecs. The specification was first published in December 2003 to provide a standardized way for CDMA-based phones and networks to handle multimedia messaging and video playback. 3G2 files are engineered for extremely low-bandwidth conditions, achieving playable video quality at bit rates as low as 30-60 kbps. This makes the format especially efficient for mobile video capture on devices with limited processing power and storage. The container supports multiple tracks, timed text for subtitles, and embedded metadata. One significant benefit is near-universal compatibility with CDMA handsets from the mid-2000s era, ensuring reliable playback across a wide range of mobile devices. Though newer formats like MP4 have superseded 3G2 for most purposes, it remains useful for working with legacy mobile content and for situations where minimal file size is the primary concern.

wma

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a family of proprietary audio codecs developed by Microsoft and first released in 1999 as part of the Windows Media framework. Created to compete with MP3 and AAC, WMA Standard uses perceptual coding to deliver what Microsoft claimed was near-CD quality at bitrates as low as 64 kbps — roughly half the data rate MP3 typically needed for comparable results. The codec family grew to include WMA Professional for surround sound and high-resolution audio, WMA Lossless for bit-perfect archival compression, and WMA Voice optimized for spoken content at very low bitrates. Deep integration with Windows, Windows Media Player, and the Zune ecosystem gave WMA a strong distribution advantage throughout the 2000s, and digital rights management (DRM) support made it attractive to online music stores of that era. Encoding and decoding are handled natively by Windows, requiring no third-party software for playback on any Windows machine. Cross-platform support has improved through libraries like FFmpeg and GStreamer, though WMA remains less universally compatible than MP3 or AAC on non-Microsoft devices. The format still appears in legacy media libraries, though newer codecs have largely taken its place for streaming and portable use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I convert 3G2 to WMA?

WMA integrates natively with Windows Media Player and older Microsoft devices. Extracting WMA from 3G2 is useful when targeting Windows-centric audio playback.

What software plays WMA?

WMA opens in Windows Media Player, VLC, foobar2000, and Groove Music on Windows devices.

Can I batch convert multiple 3G2 files?

You can upload and convert multiple 3G2 files to WMA at the same time. Batch processing runs on our servers so your device stays free.

How long does 3G2 to WMA conversion take?

Conversion speed varies by file length and bitrate. Short 3G2 clips become WMA files in seconds, while longer recordings may take a few minutes.

Is the conversion private and secure?

Uploaded files are deleted immediately after conversion, and completed WMA downloads are removed from our servers within 24 hours for full privacy.

Does converting 3G2 to WMA lose quality?

Some quality loss is normal with lossy compression, but at adequate settings the difference from the original 3G2 audio is barely noticeable.
