So ever since I updated to the new Bearshare I can only download WMAs and not MP3s. This is bad for me because I can't upload WMAs onto my Ipod and I can't convert the WMAs to MP3s because the files are protected. Any ideas?

See here ==> Sticky: BearShare has been sabotaged. (Multi-page thread 1 2 3 4 5 ) :wink:

Dang, I was excited about the new version of Bearshare because it was just like iTunes except free...then I realized it was wma. Now I have all of these wma files when I need mp3.

Not to sound completely ignorant, but is this the same thing as all of the files being in RealPlayer format in Limewire instead of the regular iTunes that we are used to seeing?!?.. Because I hate Real Player and have a significant amount of tracks stored in iTunes. So this is a major concern of mine. Where is a good source to find mp3 tracks?
