I am in need of some guidance. I need to convert the music I have already ripped to my hard drive through Windows Media player to mp3. I am sure that someone here could lead me to a nice program that I could use for this purpose. I found one that will now rip from CD's to mp3, but I need to fix the ones I have stored already.
Thank you for any help!
I believe a program called "Super" will do what you wish. You can find it here:

I suggest, however, that you consider storing your music in the OGG Vorbis format, rather than MP3. OGG Vorbis is not restricted by patents, so it can be used legally on any supported platform. It also has better compression than MP3's, so your music will sound better (or sound the same and take up less space, depending on how you set it up).
Many MP3 players now support OGG Vorbis. For a partial list, click here:

I have downloaded the requested program, but have yet to use it. Thank you for the information. I do not believe that my SanDisk Sansa m260 will accept the format you suggested. I went to their website and although it mentioned other formats, the one you suggested was not listed.
I was confused by something they did have on their website. It indicated that the unit I have would actually hold more WMA files than mp3's. That was clearly a mistake, right? mp3's are smaller in size than WMA's aren't they?
Remember, you are dealing with someone who knows just enough about computers to screw them up, but not how to fix them! :?

Well that depends. The size of the files depend on the bitrate you select. The higher the bitrate, the better the sound quality, but the bigger the file. Supposedly, WMA sounds better at a lower bitrate, and therefore takes up less space (and so you can fit more files). But MP3 is still a better format to use, for many reasons. Not as good as OGG Vorbis, but if your player won't play them, then use MP3s.
