try dbpower amp.

if that doesnt work, try copying them onto a CD-RW then ripping them as wavs. there must be an easier way though

mplayer -vo null -vc null -ao pcm -waveheader -dumpaudio file.wma

you can script this of course, to convert all your wmas

converting from wma - mp3 loses quality regardless of what you use, personally I open Nero, drag across a wmv and "auto editor" and "save as wav" and then convert the wav into a 192 kb/s mp3...
