Perhaps your best bet is to get the free Sound File Converter program which 
will allow you to create mp3 files from the wma files. A Google search should 
find the download site.

Hi Ken

A milestone is a MP3 player.  I'm afraid the WMA files won't play on it.  
You're going to have to rip them into a format the player will recognise I'm 
afraid.

  All,

  Hope some can help unravel the challenges of modern technology - or at least 
it is modern for me!

  I have just acquired a portable Daisy player that also plays MP3 files.  I 
have successfully loaded talking books on to the machine, but cannot work out 
how to get music from Windows Media Player on to the player.

  I have ripped the music as WMA, and think it needs converted , but cannot 
find the controls on WMP to do this.

  Is the challenge that Jaws is not giving me the direction to manage WMP, 
which I generally find adequate, or is it that I need something else to allow 
me to change the music already ripped in to the required format.  I really 
don't want to have to rip all my disks again in a different format if I can 
avoid it.

  I am using Vista, WMP11 and Jaws 10, and am loading on to a Milestone, though 
that just requires standard MP3 format.

  Appreciate any suggestions.

  Ken
