There are several free programs that will do it. I think there is an older version of Musicmatch Jukebox (not the newer Yahoo version) Also, try Winamp. Both of these are free.

CDex is the thing that you want Stu.I use only this one.
CDex includes 12 different compressed file encoders, including MP3, AAC, WMA, APE, and OGG, and also supports any external encoders.
You can download it here.

John, FWIW: my WMP does not have the audio converter feature.

One can get the 'Plus! MP3 Audio Converter LE' by downloading the Windows Media Bonus Pack, but that appears to just increase the sound quality of an existing file - it does not change the file format & type.

Thanks John. Done it - but it appears to covert various file types to Windows Media Player format only (not convert anything to .mp3).

"Using Windows Media Encoding Script, you can take files with .wma, .wmv, .asf, .avi, .wav, .mpg, .mp3, .bmp, and .jpg file name extensions and compress them into Windows Media Format."
