Hi Gary. Just a word of warning, I wouldn't recommend converting MP3 to WMA or vice versa. All formats have their own algorithms that decide how much music can be thrown away. That is, of course, only relevant to lossy formats. If you're using lossless, no music is thrown away at all.
If you've ripped files or downloaded them as MP3, converting them to another file type may throw away a different part of the music and therefore cause quite a degradation in quality. I would recommend either rip to MP3 or rip to WMA and then stick with that file. Again, the beauty of lossless formats is that you can create MP3 or WMA or other format files from your lossless master and know that you're not going to be degrading quality because your master is completely intact and has had nothing removed when it was ripped from the original CD.
