[Athen] Seeking recommendations for M4A converter

[Deborah Armstrong]

Um, but how do you do this in Windows with VLC? I have VLC but mostly just press Play and haven't gotten much farther with it.

Seconded, VLC Player is the see-all do-all media converter!

VLC Player works well for making WAV files from pretty much any video file.

Now that we have so many webinars/courses in zoom, I'm seeking a simple converter for Windows that will create .wav files from .M4A. The editor I prefer to use likes wav files or Mp3, but if you convert to mp3 you reduce the audio quality just a bit, so I'd prefer to convert to wav, edit it and then convert to Mp3.

When I record lectures, my main tool for note-taking is to edit the recording about 75% so I have only a short audio file to retain.

This is also useful when I'm working on a recording someone else made.
