Hi Keith I am quite sure CDEX does everything you will need as you can convert WMA to another format. CDEX can convert material from one format into another. I've never used the tool to convert WMA to MP3, but it is there.

Registered in England No. 4098268 -----Original Message----- From: infotech-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:infotech-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Keith Rothwell Sent: 25 January 2008 05:16 To: Infotech Mailing List Subject: [infotech] Change of Audio Format - WMA to MP3 25 January 2008 Hi Listers I have just been listening to the November/December 2007 (first in 2008) Issue of "InfoTech" and will almost certainly be installing CDEX for future 'Ripping' of my Music CDs. Unfortunately, I have transferred already well over a hundred CDs to my Hard Drive via Windows Media Player as this was the Facility offered when I loaded the CDs into the Drive which means that I have well over a thousand WMA Tracks on the Hard Drive which is fine for listening via the PC and HiFi but not via a MP3 Player. I have currently an early version Book Courier (uses MP3 and TXT) and hope to purchase a Victor Stream in the near future. I understand that the latter does not at present accept WMA Files and, therefore, will need to load it with MP3 Files. This will be fine for those CDs 'ripped' with CDEX which will be in MP3 but I am loathe to re-rip all those CDs already on my Hard Drive in WMA Format. Accordingly, is there a Program which will allow me to 'select' all the WMA Files in a Folder and bulk convert them to MP3 Files or allow me to highlight a WMA File and offer me a "convert to..." Option when the Application Key is pressed? I am using a fast PC (Dual Core with 2GB of RAM) running Windows XP2 and Version 8 HAL. Any help appreciated.
