[made the switch 10 days ago!! and loving it!! even with the struggles!!]

I love the way my new iMac AUTOMATICALLY places .mp3 email attachments directly into my iTunes Library. But just ran into a problem and have searched everywhere else for a solution. So I'm hoping you can help.

I received email containing a song using .WMA (Windows Media Player). Clicked on the attachment and it was automatically downloaded to my desktop but NOT into my iTunes music Library. Want to add it to my Library but can't figure out how to convert this .WMA file to an .mp3? Is it simply impossible? Any ideas?

novicew, Thanks for the link to Flip4Mac. But I don't think I want to shell out $29 to $49 bucks for the program. I guess that's just one song I'll never hear!!

When I drag WMA files into iTunes, it asks me if I want to convert them to MP3. If they're protected files, it also lets me know that.

Edit: oops- that's only on PC. WMA is a terrible format!
