How were you able to import WMA files to your ipod? Mine is saying thatRecord and save the wma files as Mp3 files in audio/ Mp3 editor like
my
WMA files are protected?

Thanks. From my research, the Microsoft plug-in allows you to rip to MP3

earlier versions of Media Player (v9 and older), but it won't do what I
want.
I found a workaround using (ahem) iTunes. I can import WMA files into
iTunes
and automatically convert to MP3.

First, if you have any of the music you want to convert to mp3 on a CD,
the WMP11 will directly rip selected CD tracks to mp3, and this is the
best way to go. When you bring up the Rip screen on the WMP, click it
for options and select mp3 rather than the default wma option.
If you are stuck with only wma files on your computer you must convert
from .wma to .mpg. For the Plus Digital Edition Audio Converter you
have, a plugin must be added before you can convert to mp3, as you
found out with the error you got. Microsoft has this to say:
"To convert audio files to MP3 files, you must purchase an MP3 encoder
(third-party MP3 Creation Pack). An MP3 encoder is not included with
Plus! Digital Media Edition. For more information about purchasing an
MP3 encoder, see the Microsoft Web site."
Microsoft has a page at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/gettingstarted/Personalization/Plugins.asp
that gives links to some pay Plugins that are supposed to work. It
looks as if a plugin might cost you about US $10 or so.
I have the Microsoft Plus edition, but I have never used it to convert
to mp3. I did not buy the plugin because I have other programs that
will convert any of about 16 formats into any of the other 15 formats,
and this includes 3 types of mp3s. Thus, from my experience, I can not
suggest how well the plugin will work for you. Although I must have at
least 6 media programs that will convert to mp3, apparently their
conversion routines are not available to the Microsoft Plus edition
converter. Thus, if you buy a plugin, be sure it is one that Microsoft
suggests as suitable.
FlexiMusic Wave Editor. To save the file as Mp3, need to install a separate
command line Mp3 encoder/ decoder.
