I'd like to recommend a program called Switch. there's a free version
of it. You never, never, never, have to use a JAWS cursor or mouse
pointer to navigate it -- it's fully accessible. You never even have
to enter the menu bar -- there are hotkeys for everything. Or you can
run it on a batch of files from Windows Explorer. Dead useful.

It will converta real audio, OGG, WMA...anything, to mp3 files (even
audio CDs)! I honestly can't say enough about it. I agree that the
Book Port should really integrate conversion into the transfer
software, but I wanted to recommend Switch as an excellent
alternative.
