Go and get yourself dbPowerAmp - it will convert your music to ogg - quickly and easily (sorry for the delay in replying - hadn't seen the post before)

I'll second the dbPowerAmp recommendation. It can convert from and to a number of different formats, and is free.

I'll also second (third? fourth? whatever) the ogg vorbis recommendation. I doubt most people would notice a real difference between same-bitrate ogg vorbis and WMA (and mp3, aac, etc) -- Particularly if you are converting from one lossy format to another along the way. Ogg vorbis is better just for the fact that it is not a proprietary format owned by microsoft. I encode all my music as 160 ogg vorbis and play on my Axim in Mort Player (which is free).

I have dBPowerAmp.... seems I should have explored it a little more!!

Remember to get all the codecs from the same site as well :approve: - and then install them.

To convert from one file type to another, open dbpoweramp - navigate to the files and then the different formats appear in the drop down box at the top :approve:

To convert direct from a CD. Open dMCAudio CD Input. Click on options and where it says "Rip to" click on this and a drop down menu will appear - allowing you to choose OGG Vorbis, then click Settings (next to the drop down box) and choose the bitrate you want :approve:

Hope this helps.
