It's free. You might have to download a codec from there before you start converting, but it'll tell you, and that's free too.

CDEX is also free...also pretty painless.

HUH!?
MP3 to WMA? MP3 to AAC I could understand . . .maaaaybe, but not Windows Audio

Out of curiosity, why you want WMA instead of MP3, please don't reply with only file size.

I believe Windows Media Player can do it for you.

You're probably right. You might get better results by converting it to a wav first, and then to a wma.

I recommend Quintessential player. Get the WMA plugin, and the Real audio plugin (called Tara) , while you're at it.

Keep in mind, when you convert lossy formats to other lossy formats, it may sound like crap.

But once you make it a wav, you can use any number of free players to convert it to windows media, including WMP and Quintessential player.

You can also do a google search for freeware that converts stuff.

But I agree with a previous poster - why would you want to take a perfectly good MP3 and convert it to WMA?

I haven't had time to really get into the new Windows Media Player 10 but I belive its doable with that version
