I made the switch.

Now the big question. I have a LaCie firewire external hard drive that contains my CD collection compressed to wmv. When I plug it in to the iMac is OS X going to erase (re-format) it? I don't want to rip all my CDs again - it would take a week. I'm perfectly happy with wmv, I just want to add them to iTunes.

The mac will not reformat your disc.

I thought wmv was windows video?

You will have to install Flip4mac to get itunes to play those files, and weirdly change the extension of all those files to .mov - even then I don't know if it will work

It would be easier to convert them to AAC or MP3

easywma can do this

Sometimes, as long as it's not .wma protected.

I decided to rip my CD collection to iTunes default AAC (.m4a) audio. I figure Windows Media Player will eventually support the format if it doesn't already.

Reading comprehension. wmv doesn't equal wma
