Step-by-Step: Convert SPX to WMA
Converting SPX to WMA with Xonvert is straightforward:
1. Upload SPX — Click the upload zone or drag files from your desktop. Works with any SPX file on your device.
2. Settings panel — Choose between Quick (fast, default settings) and Custom (full control over output parameters) conversion modes.
3. Process locally — All conversion happens in-browser using WebAssembly — no server round-trip, no upload wait time.
4. Save WMA — Single-click download for individual files. Batch conversions export as a ZIP for convenience.

Quality & Fidelity
Supports narrowband (8kHz), wideband (16kHz) and ultra-wideband (32kHz) When this data is re-encoded into WMA Audio, WMA Pro supports up to 7.1 surround sound Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Xonvert maintains data integrity across the format boundary. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. WMA Audio's compression algorithm is highly efficient — expect output sizes 2-10x smaller than uncompressed data.
Audio conversion from Speex Audio to WMA Audio focuses on preserving sonic fidelity while adapting to the target format's characteristics. Both formats use perceptual audio coding. The re-encoding applies WMA Audio's compression algorithm, which may handle certain frequencies differently than Speex Audio's encoder.' Sample rate, bit depth, and channel layout are preserved when supported by the target format.
Bitrate consideration: For lossy WMA output, Xonvert defaults to a high bitrate setting that preserves audio transparency. You can adjust the bitrate in the settings panel — higher values mean better quality but larger files.

Got Questions? We Have Answers
Can I convert password-protected SPX files?▼
Encrypted or DRM-protected files cannot be converted. You'll need to remove protection first using the original software.
Can I convert multiple SPX files at once?▼
Yes! Drag multiple files into the converter for batch processing. All files convert simultaneously and can be downloaded as a ZIP archive.
What's the maximum number of files I can convert at once?▼
Free users can convert several files per batch. PRO users enjoy unlimited batch sizes. For very large batches, your device's memory is the only practical limit.
Why choose WMA over other formats?▼
WMA Audio offers good compression quality within the Windows ecosystem. It's widely used for legacy Windows media collections and enterprise audio, making it an excellent choice for most audio needs.
Will my SPX file be deleted after conversion?▼
No. Your original SPX file is never modified or deleted. Xonvert creates a separate WMA copy — your source file remains untouched.
What audio quality settings should I use?▼
For music, use 256 kbps or higher. For voice/podcast, 128 kbps is sufficient. Lossless output preserves everything.
Does this work on my phone or tablet?▼
Yes. Xonvert works on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets all supported.
