How to convert a .wma file to .ogg for use in HTML5, using VLC Media Player

Just follow these easy instructions. And please let me know if you find errors in my procedure.  
  • Open VLC Media Player
  • Click on Media and Convert / Save
  • Click on Add
  • Select the song you want to convert
  • Click on Convert/Save
  • Click Browse and navigate to the location where you want the new song to be created. Name the new file. For example, “converted_song.ogg”
  • In the Settings group, choose Audio – Vorbis (OGG) from the drop-down list
  • Click Start

The progress slider at the bottom of the media player should indicate your file is being converted. If it's not moving, you may need to follow the steps again. Pay close attention not to miss a step.

I strongly recommend testing your newly converted file.
