Whatever program you use make sure that you use the LAME encoder. best setting is "alt preset standard". ~225kbps and fairly perfect quality

On a similar note, can anyone suggest something to convert wma files to mp3? Thanks.

The new Windows Media Player 10, can convert any cd's or files too mp3. It is supposed to only be downloadable to/for use with XP, but I downloaded it, no problem, and am stunned at the number of new features it has

You know, I never even thought of using that. Cheers Paddy.

Hit a snag with Media Player, it needs a CD to rip the tracks from, and they're actually on my hard drive. Anyone know how I can use Media Player to convert feils on my hard drive or if it's not possible, some other tool that I can download? Cheers.

dBPowerAmp does WMA to MP3 too.

You only need to register the lame encoder dealie, I was able to find a way around doing that easyily enough on the net though.

Take what ye want, give nothin' back!
