    I will say the actual process was quite simple, Conerterlite.com didn’t have my phone listed and so I was unable to convert the files.  Your process was explained and it helpted to be able to see each step.  I will recommend to anyone I come across who needs to convert their media files.  Thank you for making it so Easy.

       Thank you for the positive feedback. Our goal is to simplify file
      conversion as best we can. What phone do you use? If we don’t see it as
      an output option then we shall implement it to future versions.

    My converted files are shortened to a length of 0 seconds. How do I fix this?

    • ConverterLite

       This is usually due to the file being protected. Check  the properties of your WMA file to see if it is protected. If it is then we cannot convert it.
