Can U convert WMA to MP3?

Mar 8, 2009 9:53AM PDT

I have an older i Audio and I'm looking to buy an iPod Nano. I just saved 4 GB of songs to my hard drive but 80% are in the WMA format and iPod will not accept WMA.

Thanks

iTunes will do it

As long as it is not protected WMA (the stuff that you may have bought and downloaded online in the past). You just need to make sure your import settings in iTunes is set to mp3. When you attempt to add the WMA tracks to iTunes, it will ask something along the lines of "do you wish to convert?" Say yes and iTunes will do it.

Make sure you have enough space on your hard drive, though. It actually makes an mp3 copy. You will still retain the wma version unless you delete it afterwards.
