You can convert them to WAV directly thru Winamp.

hmm... the mp3's are legal if you've the original Kylie albums/singles on tape/vinyl/CD/whatever... won't it breach the copyright laws by creating the WAV versions though? (AFAIK copyright laws allow you to make 1 "backup" copy of the songs...) - dunno tho'- and I'm not going to preach what I (possibly!) don't practise...

anyway- as to putting them into WAV files, s'easy... do it through WinAmp - just go into preferences/plugins/output (something like that) and choose Nullsoft Disk Writer, click configure, choose your directory. Hit play, and the file will be encoded to WAV and shoved into that directory. Disabling it then is just a matter of choosing the waveOut plugin instead of the Disk Writer plugin.

Cheers,

Also, there are plenty of shareware apps around that will convert batches of WAV's to MP3 or vice versa. Have a look around mp3.com and download.com.

If you're trying to burn mp3s to a cd as an audio cd, nero burning rom does all the conversion for you

Or if you want to do some editing I suggest Goldwave. To make sounds for internet pages for example, its best to use a mix and match of proggys depending on what u want to do.
CDex is another proggy thats handy. Like winamp in that its a multiple format player, not quite as nice tho imo. Especially with a skin of scantily clad women on winamp

I recall hearing of a CD walkman which would read MP3 files on the CD and play them. Meaning you could burn more music on a CD.

A friend of mine built a MP3 Stereo system for his car. He had a 10GB harddrive located in the boot and ran the whole thing though a cool interface on the dash.
