How do you convert a WMA file to an MP3 file?
I have creative software that came with MP3 player but even though there is a convert section it won't work.
Any help appreciated!!

Itunes automatically will convert wma to mp3. You have to set it in the preferences to import songs as 192 or 128 mp3 but it works perfectly.

Yes you can convert your existing music.
192kbps or 128kbps is the bit rate of the MP3s (kbps=kilo bits per second). The higher this is, the better quality the sound is. I use 192kbps minimum for MP3s.How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb?

If you have Microsoft Plus, the media centre will do batch conversions for you, I use it to convert from MP3 to WMA, as my MP3 Player supports it, you can adjust your conversion rate from 96 to 256, so im guessing 192 or 128 is your bitrate, 192 being of better audio quality than 128.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

Downloaded itunes and it doesn't show any of the WMA files. When I tried to import and convert them it said I couldn't unless I had the CD and imported that way. These are songs I paid to download.
Any ideas how else I can convert them?0 -

To change iTunes 6 MP3 import settings:
From the iTunes menu, select Preferences... The Preferences window will open.
Click on the Advanced button and choose Importing.
From the Import Using pull-down menu select MP3 Encoder.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A
