    looking for a utility that will let me convert mp3's to wma files, don't ask

    it's for a friend, he wants wma for his mp3 player rather than mp3s so he can store more music on the devise (he should have got more than 128mb!)

    anyway thanks in advance

    DBPoweramp for all you're encoding needs. Just make sure you get the "File Selector" plugin for it, that makes mass-encoding much easier.

    I second dbpoweramp.

    Bear in mind that you will lose a bit of quality, even when the bitrates are the same, each time you recompress a file.

    nero wouldn't give the best quality though. DBPoweramp uses Lame, which is recognised as being the best mp3 encoder by far, giving best quality results per bitrate setting.

    Nero has its own encoder, which ain't as good. And mp3pro sounds like kack.

    all of you thanks for the replies

    got dbpoweramp anyway, didn't bother trying it as its for a friend

    did try nero, pretty straight forward and i don't think my friend is a keen enough music listener to notice the decrease in sound quality

    thanks anyway,

    jozi
