Oh, OK.  So, what Zach said still applies; she can use 
online-convert.com.

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!

 Hello there,

 First of all thanks for your help but, like I have said to you
 all in previous messages the files were already ripped or
 downloaded from another source.  I know how to rip cd's into mp3
 format and, I use a program called express rip to do this 
instead
 of using windows media player for ripping my cd's.

 I tried this format and imoo it sucks!

 Thanks for the advice and, I will talk to you all soon.

 Hugs,
 amy

 Hello Amy, have you tried using windows media player? Windows
 media player
 comes built in to windows so you don't' have to worry about
 installing
 anything else.

 Just go to the start menu and search for "windows media player"
 under
 either all programs or into a search field for the start menu,
 depending on
 which version of windows you have.  If you have windows 7, you
 will get the
 newest version of the player.  Anyways once you launch the
 program, all you
 have to do is go into the tools menu and go into the options 
menu
 item and
 press enter.  The windows media player settings will appear.  
Press
 control+tab to get to rip music (which is converting audio CD
 tracks to a
 specify digital file format.) press alt+A to jump straight into
 the
 "format:" combo box and press m to select to rip as mp3 format.
 Tab to the
 OK button and press the space bar.  You can now rip music 
(convert
 music)
 directly into mp3 files without problems.  To start ripping, in
 the player's
 user interface, you tab until you get to the rip button, the rip
 window will
 appear and if you want to start ripping immediately, press alt+s
 to jump
 quickly to and click the Start Rip Button.
 Please note however that you windows media player might or might
 not be
 different, depending on the version of windows you have or the
 version of
 the player itself.  Just play around with it and let me know.

 Cheers,       Humberto

 Subject: [nabs-l] converting music

 Hello all,

 I hope that everyone had a good Christmas and, is looking 
forward
 to the new year! Well, I got some brand new music for Christmas
 thanks to my friends and my sister and, I wanted to play some
 music and, well, it's not in mp3 format.  I tried converting it 
in
 express rip but, it only works for ripping albums into that
 format.  I then tried to convert the wma files into mp3 format 
in
 goldwave and, well again it wouldn't work.

 So, I was wondering if any of you could help me out in how I can
 convert these files of music into mp3 format from wma? What
 software can I use besides the ones I just described below and,
 are they accessible with jaws?

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks again and, I will
 talk to you all soon!

 Hugs,
 amy
