Idiot-proof WMA to WAV/MP3 required

[Ric_]

I know that there must be a away to do this...

 

1. Student plugs in portable audio device (digital dictaphone) and downloads WMA file - no DRM or anything

2. Student clicks/drags said downloaded file and some magic happens to convert it into a WAV file for editing in audacity or similar

it would be dead easy to do it with mplayer, maybe a php script on a webserver? or email it to a unix server that processess the file and mails it back?

Idiot proof?

 

You must have quite high functioning 'idiots' where your at

depending upon how the webpage was designed - it could be made really easy "upload file here" etc and spit out an mp3.

 

same with the email , surely kids can add an atachment and mail it to mp3convertor@wherever

 

or am I really out of touch with the general level of IT education?~
