What's an easy way to convert WMA's to a more accesible format (mp3s, etc.)? I've never been able to figure that out.

I have a mac and the program I use is easyWMA. It's free and works perfectly. Go to www.macupdate.com and search for it.

there's plenty of programs to convert music files. but the sound is usually not as good after you convert them.

Best program I've found is dBpowerAmp, I've been using it a long time. It comes with music converters and a cd ripper and some other sweet stuff. You can also download extra plugins to convert to weird filetypes like ogg or something.

That program does not work with Macs. I haven't noticed any loss of sounds quality with easyWMA.

Here, just to cut all the bullshit, here's the direct link to download it, http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14645
