Does anyone know a good easy to use, Virus free wma converter. To convert wma's to mp3's?

As long as you promise not to share any of that low standard crap I can sniff one out for ya

Haven't used it myself so no guarantees

What do you mean by lowstandard crap?

When something is first ripped to wma, and then converted to mp3, quality fades.

Why don't you just download mp3's instead ??

I have some very good material. But when I try to change the ripping method in windows media player to copy mp3's instead it won't let me. Can nero startsmart do this? Or any other nero programs? I have the whole suite installed.

I'll send you a PM instead

ok

If wma is converted to mp3 or mp3 converted to wma, then it should never be shared on the gnutella network!!!!! Such a loss of quality. I've heard obvious re-encodings & it sounds terrible. I'd hate to think of gnutella becoming known as the 3rd class location to find audio files. With files being commonly reconverted to different formats or bit rates, all of which result in loss of quality. Unless lossless formats are used; aiff, wav, apple lossless, flac, monkey (ape), etc. But with a id3 tag saying "converted from ... " included with the description of the file if that's the case.

I'm gonna find something the rip cd songs into mp3s automaticlly instead of a program ripping wma's. I don't like wma.
