Vista - Converting FROM .wma and .wav TO .mp3 using WMC 11

Converting FROM .wma and .wav TO .mp3 using WMC 11

I am using Vista Ultimate (32 bit) with Windows Media Player (version
11.0.6000.6344) that was checked for updates today so it is up-to-date.

HOW can I convert music files ripped by WMP into .wma format into .mp3
format (the .wma file is in my Music folder on the computer).

Also, can .wav files be converted into .mp3 format?

The Microsoft website says it no longer supplies or supports Plus! which I
purchased and installed/used when I was running XP and that used to do this
conversion fine but Vista does NOT support its install.

Thanks

Simple solution ...rip the CD again with
..mp3 as the target format.

Windows Vista -

Yes, .wav files can be converted to .mp3.
The freeware Super can do it:
