That'll teach'ya for going with an also-ran format. ;) I have a car stereo that reads mp3s on CD-Rs. A boom-box that reads MP3s on CD-Rs. A walkman-type device that reads MP3s on CD-Rs. Plus the Clie. None support WMA files. If you want to get the most use out of your music files it is probably better to convert to MP3s (the world's de facto standard) sooner rather than later.

I use http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/3000-2141-10132292.html?tag=lst-0-1 to convert but until you register, you can only do one at a time. However, you can have multiple sessions opening all converting a different file.
