Bit of a daft question but I cant find information anywhere. I have been using my Nokia mobile phone as a music player but it seems to have gone kaput so i'm going to have to invest in a music player. All my music though is on Nokia Music Player so I would prefer to be able to still play them.
Nokia seems to use WMA format while Amazon uses MP3 - is there any way to convert or can I buy a player which uses all the formats?

Many digital audio players will work with both WMA and MP3 provided no DRM is involved but you may be able to re-download your tracks in the latter format anyway...0

You can get converters from WMA to MP3.
I used one a few years back.
The alternative (which is what I do) is to buy your music on CD and rip it to MP3.0 -
Started using iTunes when I got an iPod. It converted all my wma files to mp3.0

Sansa Clip plus will play both WMA and MP3. And you don't need iTunes - just drag and drop. Reviews here
