    Any easier way to convert WMA to Mp3's

    I would just like to know ways (easy one) to convert to WMA without losing quality.

    The only way you have to not lose any quality from a WMA is to decode it to WAV and then encode it with a lossless codec (Monkey Audio for example). Because MP3, WMA, OGG and many other formats are all lossy, you WILL, no matter what, lose even more quality when transcoding a WMA to MP3, and that, even if you encode your new MP3 at 320 kpbs.

    So, unless you don't mind losing even more quality on that already lower quality WMA, you are better to leave that way.

    You can always try it and see if the quality loss is bearable though.

          the thing is that even if the WMAs are lossless there aren't lossless MP3s, so as RossRoy said even converting to 320 kbps there has to be SOME loss of quality...
