I'm in a bit of a bickle, me lads. It seems a new game I have has really bad music. Add my own right? Not so simple. It's this wierd format called .ASF, and after I ripped my CDs, I can't seem to find anything to convert what Windows Media Player left my tracks on (.WMA) to this weird .ASF format. Do y'all have any ideas?

ASF is a MS patented audio/video file type. You can unencode them, which doesn't help you much, but there doesn't seem to be anything available to encode them. I'm sure MS would sell you an overpriced package to do that.

One thing might work. Just change the extensions from .wma to .asf. I tried it and it worked with WiMp7. But that's no guarantee it will work in your game.

Also, when you're ripping these turn security OFF or you won't be able to play the files on another machine.

Craig, it's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. I just learned from another forum that these files aren't really .ASF files, I'm trying to find out what they are right now. Still haven't been able to find any Need for Speed forums.

Wow, thanks Webb! It worked! Now to put all the rebellious songs Metallica, Fear Factory, Rammstein etc! I honestly never thought I'd get the answer here. Help from where you least expect it eh? One more thing though, you said turn security off, where is that option?

I don't know where the security settings are because I refuse to use WiMP unless absolutely necessary. If it's not security it's digital rights management or whatever prevents a wma file from being played on another computer.
