How to convert AIFF to WMA

AIFF to WMA: what to expect
AIFF files are very large and are not played by many phones or websites. WMA plays in old Windows software and some older portable players. AIFF is at home in audio production on the Mac; WMA is the usual choice for legacy Windows music libraries. WMA is lossy, so keep the AIFF original if you may need full quality later.
The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can choose the bitrate and trim the start and end.
This pair uses the compatibility engine, ffmpeg built for the browser, because AIFF is not handled by the browser's built-in codecs. It is a one-off download of about 10 MB that the browser keeps, it is slower than the built-in codecs, and it takes files up to 1 GB. WMA is written at 128 kbps unless you choose another bitrate.
AIFF vs WMA

Questions
Are my audio files uploaded anywhere?
No. The AIFF to WMA conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Does converting AIFF to WMA reduce quality?
WMA is a lossy format, so a small amount of detail is traded for a smaller file. At the default setting the difference is hard to notice. You can choose the bitrate under Options.
Can I convert several AIFF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
How do I convert AIFF to WMA on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the AIFF file, press Convert and save the WMA. There is nothing to install.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes. AIFF to WMA runs on the compatibility engine, which takes files up to 1 GB, and a long clip takes a while because it is slower than the browser's built-in codecs. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
