Free online WMA to TTA converter

Source format: WMA

WMA stands for Windows Media Audio, an audio format developed by Microsoft. It is commonly used for music, voice recordings, and audio distributed through older Windows-based systems and media players. WMA files may be either lossy or lossless, and they are often found in legacy music libraries, archived recordings, and older portable devices.

Target format: TTA

TTA means True Audio, a lossless audio format designed to preserve the original sound data without quality loss. It is used by audio enthusiasts, archivists, and anyone who wants compact lossless storage with simple decoding. Compared with compressed lossy formats, TTA is better suited for preservation and editing workflows where exact audio fidelity matters.

How to perform the conversion

The most reliable way to convert WMA to TTA is with a desktop audio converter or a command-line tool that supports both formats. If you want a simple no-install option, you can convert the file on 101convert.com for free without installing any software.

Option 1: Use a desktop converter

1. Open your audio converter or media manager that supports both WMA input and TTA output.
2. Import the .wma file.
3. Choose TTA as the output format.
4. Adjust audio settings only if needed; for lossless output, keep the source sample rate and channel layout unchanged.
5. Start the conversion and save the resulting .tta file.

Option 2: Use FFmpeg

If your FFmpeg build includes TTA support, you can convert from the command line with a command similar to ffmpeg -i input.wma output.tta. This is useful for batch conversion and automation. If FFmpeg reports that TTA is unsupported, use a dedicated audio converter that includes TTA encoding.

Option 3: Use a converter with a graphical interface

1. Open the program and add the WMA file.
2. Select Convert, Export, or Save as, depending on the application.
3. Pick TTA from the format list.
4. Confirm the output folder and run the conversion.

Notes on quality and compatibility

WMA to TTA is not a quality-improving conversion. If the WMA source is lossy, the audio quality cannot be restored; the result will be a lossless TTA file that preserves the already-compressed audio exactly as it exists in the source. This means the file may be larger than the original WMA, especially if the source was a highly compressed music file.

Compatibility is the main limitation. TTA is less widely supported than common formats such as MP3, AAC, FLAC, or WAV, so some players and devices may not open it. For maximum playback compatibility, keep a copy of the original WMA or consider a more widely supported lossless format if needed.

Metadata such as title, artist, and album may transfer during conversion, but support depends on the software used. For best results, verify tags after conversion if your library organization matters.
