For the Quicktime files, you could bring them into a video editing application such as Adobe Premiere, unlink the audio from the video, and export the audio only.

For the WMA files, you would just need a program to convert the audio format from one to the other. Theres one at... http://www.fairstars.com/.../index.htm

Although, DRM protected files wont work.

If you're using a Mac, Audio Hijack will digitally record audio from any app that you specify (i.e. Windows Media Player or Quicktime) and save the file as an uncompressed .wav file or encoded .mp3 file.

http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/

The free trial version will work for up to 10 minutes of audio before it starts adding noise, but 10 minutes is usually plenty to get what you need. The full version of the software is something like $20...well worth it for ALL Mac users who are club members. It's the only way to get protected Windows Media Player audio into a format that Mac users can burn to a CD (WMP for Mac OS X does not support CD burning).

You could look for a program that records anything played through your soundcard.

There's a program I've used called All Sound Recorder XP - only costs $20 or something - just do a google search for it. I found I had to reduce my sound levels right down to just above zero to get a recording without distortion, but it does work.

Other than that, for quicktime files you can get the full version of Quicktime Pro, that enables you to stip out the sound.
