Yeah, I was hopin' to get one of those things that tell people what music you're listening to, and everything was going well until I realized that the program couldn't tag .wma files.

So, now, I've gotta find something to turn all of my music into MP3 files. Considering about 90% of my music is WMA, I may have just wasted two hours of my life unless I can get some help. Any suggestions?

Download or re-rip everything from the original CDs fresh - converting from one compressed format to another is always bad :p

If you really must though, the only thing I can think of at the moment that can do it is somthing called GraphEdit that comes with the DirectX SDK, but it's by no means easy to use, and it also works at 1x, so if you're trying to convert 60 hrs of music, it's gonna take at least that long to convert :p Older versions of Winamp might be capable (and at as fast as your PC can go rather than at 1x), but I think the later ones have disabled converting WMA to anyting else.

Or you can use GoldWave to record the WMA output to your speakers, and save it as an mp3. It's more useful for MIDI -> MP3 conversion, though. I forget where to get it, but PM me or something if you're interested and I can look further into it when I have time.
