Assuming you can play the files, theres a setting in Winamp that outputs to a WAV file (instead of playing through speakers), you can then use Audacity /'lame' mp3 encoder to convert to mp3. All legal IMHO. But IANAL.

I suggest you to use Tuneraft media converter, I use it for converting audio files, conversion is fast and the results are pretty good. You can download and try it for free.
