    It should be lossless same as FLAC or WAV - i would try to convert files anyway to FLAC as it is more popular and less problematic than WMA.

    I don't have any wmal files to test with, but ffmpeg has a wmal decoder. Something like this should work:

    Code:
    ffmpeg -i input.wmal output.flac
