It is, per se, not possible to convert WinRAR Compressed Archives directly to Windows Media Audio Files (.rar to .wma conversion); at least not in the proper conversion sense.
You can, however, extract any existing audio data file, such as WMA, given your RAR archive contains such audio files. Using dedicated tools, such as WinRAR or 7-Zip, will allow you to explore the contents of a RAR archive, and if needed, extract any audio data file.
Simply put, it is impossible to convert RAR to WMA directly.
Thus, there is no so-called rar to wma converter or a free online .rar to .wma conversion tool.

Understanding RAR and WMA file formats
RAR is a proprietary compressed archive format developed by Eugene Roshal. It is commonly used to bundle and compress multiple files or folders into a single, smaller file for easier storage or transfer. RAR files often require special software to extract their contents.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio file format developed by Microsoft. It is used for storing high-quality audio data with efficient compression, making it suitable for music and voice recordings.
How to convert RAR to WMA
Since RAR is an archive format and WMA is an audio format, you cannot directly convert a RAR file to WMA. Instead, you need to extract the audio files (which may be in WMA or another audio format) from the RAR archive first, and then convert them to WMA if necessary.
Step 1: Extract audio files from RAR archive
Use a file archiver such as WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the contents of the RAR file:
- Open the RAR file with WinRAR or 7-Zip.
- Select the files you want to extract.
- Click Extract To and choose your destination folder.
Step 2: Convert extracted audio files to WMA
If the extracted files are not already in WMA format (e.g., they are MP3, WAV, or FLAC), use an audio converter such as Freemake Audio Converter or Any Audio Converter:
- Open the audio converter software.
- Click Add Files and select the extracted audio files.
- Choose to WMA as the output format.
- Click Convert to start the conversion process.
Recommended software for RAR to WMA conversion

Summary
To convert a RAR file to WMA, first extract the audio files from the RAR archive, then use an audio converter to convert them to WMA format.
