Step 3 Start Audacity by double-clicking on the application icon.

Step 4 Drag the MP3 file from the website URL to the Audacity work desk. It will import the file.

Step 5 Select "Export..." under the "File" menu. In the Format drop-down menu, select WMA as the export format.

Step 6 Click "OK" to close the dialog box and your MP3 file will be converted to a WMA file.
