If the player can read WMA it is a smaller format than MP3. Most good CD burning programs can make the conversion for you. Personally I use Nero Ultra 6 and am very pleased.

above 128kbps, go with mp3. If your songs are a lower quality than that, wma sounds better IMO at low bit rates. | |

MP3. I've done tests before and there's no contest. I personally use EAC and EasyLAME to rip my CD's. | |

to convert iTunes to mp3 you have to burn them to CD first and then rip the files off the CD. | |
