Rep Power: 4 | When you are ripping CDs into WMP you can set it so it can rip to MP3 rather than WMA, its the options menu and RIP tab. Hope this helps. |

Rep Power: 72   | Short of throwing the copyright angle I've heard good things about Switch Audio Sound File Converter Software- Convert to wav files and mp3. as a decent simple straight forward converter. |

Rep Power: 10 | DBPowerAmp is what I use, although you do have a pay a few quid for the MP3 encoding (not sure if you could use the free Lame encoder) |

Rep Power: 79 | I use Blaze Media Pro to quickly convert WMA (DRM free) to MP3. If the WMA files have DRM, to my knowledge you cannot convert this and the only workable solution I have come across is to make an analogue recording, which then compiles it into MP3 format. The problem with this is you must play each track in turn (in real time) to make a conversion. This in my view doesn't break DRM, but simply bypasses the protection. It’s a very grey area in terms of how legal it really is to be honest. |
