Debee,

You can try a couple things; I've used Alive's MP3 Wav Converter and their 
video converter for years; they are a little quirky, but work quite well. You 
can check out www.alivemedia.net to find out about the shareware they offer. I 
did a podcast on blind cool tech in January 2006; search for Audio Conversion 
and you should find it; the podcast is dated January 23, 2006. One nice thing 
about the audio converter is that it can sit in the context menu so that when 
you land on a WMA file to convert, you can press the applications key and there 
will be choices such as convert to wav, or convert to with an elipsis after it, 
and you can press enter and choose what to convert the file to; quite handy. My 
podcast describes some of the quirks and the work-arounds.

Another program is Replay Converter, from Applian Technologies.Applian has been 
working to make their shareware friendly to blind people; Replay Converter 
seems to work quite well.
