Free WMA to MP3 Converter

[ae123]

Seems to already be back.

Direct download link is http://public.pcfreetime.com/FFSetup5.20.0.0.exe
An official (their own updater is linking to this one) mirror download is https://dw53.softmany.com/dwnld/8196/8wU2ItDYRpICRkRxMFQQYZ8L0OBSHqpK/formatfactory-5-20-0-0.exe

Here is another copy of it (temp link for a week) I uploaded: https://www.filemail.com/d/dtrtvzfmilqcfyr

Thank you.
The first link doesn't work.
I downloaded it from the second link but my computer won't allow me to run the software because it says there's a virus.

It's a PUP (potentially unwanted program) due to the fact that it pushes in some crappy "offers" (that you can Decline, but most people don't read) while installing.

This is what "Format Factory" has been doing for years.

So how do I get around the computer blocking it?

For someone to be able to help you with this, you would need to give more/exact info on what you mean by "the computer blocking it"/"my computer won't allow me to run the software".

It's probably an Antivirus detection that has a way to click on and press Allow/Bypass/Restore or something similar, but this depends on your Operating System version and which Antivirus is doing it.

(To note, if you do get through to install it, make sure to follow every screen of the installation intently and Decline when there are things they "offer" you.)

Just posted a picture of the message I'm getting when trying to run the installation download.

Yeah, but this is not the whole info. You wrote earlier "because it says there's a virus", which this screenshot does not say.

[ae123]

That message was when I right-clicked and then clicked run.
Here's an image of when I double-click.

I use File Converter which is much easier to use then these other applications.

I turned off real-time protection & tamper protection in Windows Security.
Then I was able to install it.

It can compress, edit & join MP3s?

It definitely can compress, I don't know about join. But it works for Audio, Video, Image, and Docs. A simple option in the right click menu to convert to different file type.

A handful of free programs. To convert the files.

These 2 work great for some small jobs.
