    not 100%

    but when I got my ipod, I was able to 'import' my wma files and itunes automatically converted them to itune files, whatever they're called...</p>

    some of my current itune music has been directly transferred from windows media.. don't know if it helps to know that!?</p>

    did the same for me

    but i've got some stuff i've just downloaded via bitorrent and its in wma file only. tried setting default player as windows media then back to itunes (converts existing mp3s to wma and back again) but it won't convert the new ones

    cheers for the response though(Y)

    There's a program called CDEX that does it

    It's free but it's really un-user friendly.
    Do a google for it and see if you can get to grips with it.

    If all else fails use total recorder

    "play" the WMA file using windows media player but via the total recorder software - with the output in mp3 format. You can play in silent mode for faster conversion

    Its share ware - I think around £12 or so availlable from high criteria. but just google total recorder for the download

    You need to convert it to mp3 mate so it'll play on iTunes.
