Just out of curiosity, why do you need to do this?
All decent MP3 player play WMA.
All decent MP3 players are essentially mass storage devices than can be interfaced from computer to computer and download and upload without having to make any major adjustments or constraints.
All decent MP3 players support simple drag and drop.
I need to convert music in wma format to mp3. I see many converters out there...can anyone recommend a particular file converter?
There are some non-free bulk converters out there, but as I only need to convert the occasional file, I use VLC, free from VideoLAN - VLC: Free streaming and multimedia solutions for all OS! There is probably a way to have it do bulk conversions, but I haven't checked into it.
It can export as WAV or MP3 (use the "wizard" if you're not sure what you want to do). I prefer to export WAVs, then use some other tool to make the MP3, usually CDex to convert and MP3gain to adjust volume; that way I have more control as VLC doesn't have a lot of MP3 quality settings available. Both are free software and do a good job.
Be aware that the WAV file will run 10 to 20 MB per minute of audio time.
I don't like WMA files myself, as the sound is rather muddy compared to MP3.
You can try Videora.com. They have several different converters you might want to check out. They work pretty dang good for me. And if your Ipod/Iphone/Ipad or PSP user its great to upload videos, of course through Itunes, on your hardware.
