Haven't done this in a few years and completely forgot how it's done.
It's usually done the other way around......
I have about 60 songs in wave file and want to convert them into mp3s to save space.
Could someone give a little refresher on how it's done?
 
baltimoron,
Thanks. Will give it a try.
 
Upgrade to Windows Media Player 10 (it's free). There's an option to convert files with a dropdown menu to select the file format.

Still using Windows Media Player 7.01... when I have to ... because all Windows Media Players load you up with cookies and other stuff, spyware, every time you use it.
There was a way to do convert files with WMP 7.01, that you mentioned you do with WMP10.....it's that I forgot how it could be done.

I prefer WinAmp, it's free, cleaner, uses less resourses and doesn't load you up with all that extra 'junk' like Windows or even Real Player One. Real Player One also loads all kinds of extra 'goodies' on your PC.
 
Be careful which converter you use. Some of them loose the song title and artist information. I have used Music Match with great success. You can bulk covert the songs with it.
