There is also a sweet little program that is called switch and available from NCH Swift sound. There is a trial version of a program called wave pad on the same site that allows you to batch convert a ton of files at once. I think you download the wma plug in when you first try to convert them. I like it for this function much better than anything else I have ever used including gold wave.

Otherwise, goldwave will convert it quite nicely.
