I think wma is smaller files than mp3

if you find a free wma - mp3 converter, let me know. I've been looking for one too.

musicmatchjukebox. thats what i use.

http://www.download.com/Musicmatch-Jukebox/3000-2167_4-10306546.html?tag=lst-0-1

that file is 19.1megs...and it is a trial, so im not too sure what are the limitations are on the trial..i think they won't let you rip cd's at more than 96 or 128kps.. just go to file> convert files...you can also lower the quality of a song so you can put it on a webpage and stuff like that..enjoy, hope it works!

wma works just with windows like almost everything else that microcrap does.
And they embed some security not letting them to be burned in some cases (as I was told).

Use MP3.

I thought it was the other way around.

Beetroot is right. My 128mb mp3 player can hold 30 mp3's or 300 wma's. I need an mp3-wma converter.

possibly storing 48 kbps mono WMA instead than 192 kbps stereo MP3s. For a walkman, the difference can be minimal. But still 10x the size makes me think you are comparing 32 kpbs WMA with 320 kbps MP3s
