My buddy jason gave me some music but he used windows media player to rip it off the CD's, thus putting it into wma format. I was curious if I could get it into .wav some how or possibly even just straight into mp3? Anyone know of any conversion programs out there that'll do that? I've got CDeX which I use to rip all of my CD's and it does do .wav to mp3 conversion but it doesn't do .wma at all. Any help would be much appreciated.

CoolEdit? I'm not sure if it can read WMA.
Only option I know...

Using Windows you could burn it to an audio CD and rip the tracks (using some other software) as MP3s... Still, I think there would be 3-second gaps between the songs from burning with Windows... not to mention a slight loss in audio quality.

The 3 second gaps would be a part of the CD standard, not the wave data itself. You can set whatever gaps you want on a CD, though the first gap (the one before the first song) needs to be at least 2 seconds.
I know this because on Nero, it automatically sets 2 second gaps on all of the songs, which I immediately disable.
