yeah it can be done.

i do with a program call goldwave. u can down load it.

u have to open the file in this program and then click "save as" and chose mp3 format.

there is probably an easier way that some one will tell ya. (i hope there is as i get fucked off doing it all the time)

Windows media player can convert depending on which version you have. You just need to go through the settings.

Options

Rip Music

Format drop down, select MP3

I like DB Poweramp as it'll convert any file into any other. Say you have m4p's from ITunes - no worries this thing will crack them. It even checks the file and names it for you after matching it from the net.
