When I try ffmpeg, I get This build of ffmpeg does not include a "wmav2" decoder needed for input stream #0:0.
Enable RPMFusion repositories:
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
Then swap ffmpeg-free from Fedora repos with ffmpeg from RPMFusion:
sudo dnf --allowerasing swap ffmpeg-free ffmpeg

Any ideas?
Thanks!
Near the very beginning of that it says that DRM is a problem and it may fail.
It also has lots of messages about āOperation not permittedā
I donāt know exactly what the issue is, but from those messages I would suspect that this is DRM restrictions that are interfering.
What media is the wma file from? If it is CD then it may be possible to use a tool such as k3b, brasero, or handbrake to rip the track from the CD, instead of copying the file to a hard drive and trying to convert it there.
I seem to recall that the file format on a CD can be either wma or wav but can easily be converted to wav, ogg, or mp3 by ripping with an appropriate tool.

Yes. Riping would be easy. The problem is that this file is just one of thousands. Re-riping is unreasonable. Not sure what to do.
You can probably convert them using a free-as-in-coffee utility called MakeMKV that can handle drm. Itās proprietary but thereās a gratis license for Linux users:

Lets say there is a certain percentage of the ones you have that are DRM protected but you do not know how many.
It would not be difficult to write a script that would read the file names and attempt the conversion, saving the output mp3 file in a different directory. If successful then the original could be moved to a different directory so it can easily be identified as already converted.
If the conversion fails then that source file can be left as is or moved to another directory so it is also easy to identify those that failed.
Once the first run is done that either works or fails and the failures are separated out then you would have a smaller (hopefully) list to work from with the DRM issue. Depending upon how many may be involved then a plan to continue could be created.
While I concur that ripping for a second time would be time consuming, DRM is what it is. Making copies with that tech is sometimes difficult. Just copying the file is usually easy. Converting it is not so easy at times.

Thereās also the reality that wma and mp3 are lossy types so apart from DRM, youād also be taking a quality hit by converting rather than ripping. Kind of like if youāve ever dubbed from a dubbed casette or VHS tape, each āgenerationā loses some quality.
I suggest ripping instead to FLAC, which is lossless, and then converting to mp3, ogg, wma, etc from there.
Not sure if this will work
You could try fre:ac
Itās a flatpak
