    ===============================
    Here's another option if you are willing to
    invest a blank CD. Create a Music CD
    with the MP3 files and RIP it with Windows
    Media Player 11 with .wma as the target
    format.

    If you have it, install the MP3 Audio Converter from Windows XP Plus. I
    installed it on Vista Home Premium and it works fine.

    =====================================
    I'm not really into camcorders but as I understand
    it...high quality video consumes approximately
    13 GB per hour of footage.

    Even though the following article is not current...
    it may offer some useful info:

    Do you have a sample MP3 file that doesn't work here? I'd like to more
    completely understand why this is failing for you. I'm assuming there's
    some sort of unsupported ID3 in the file, but that's pure guesswork at this
    point without a file to look at.
