wma to aac or mp3 converter

Does anyone know on where I could find a wma to aac converter? I just recently went to a Mac a couple of months ago. So all my music files are either wma or mp3. Any help is appreciated!

drop a WMA into itunes and it will convert it automatically into MP3/AAC before playing (it can't play WMA but it can convert them). make sure it isn't a DRM-protected file though, it can't do anything with those.

EasyWMA ($10) can do it. ffmpegX (free, see below for link) can do it, too, although it's not as easy to install and use.

Edit: Burns, Are you sure the Mac version of iTunes can convert WMAs? I thought only the Windows version did that.

Only the WIN version of iTunes will convert to AAC from unprotected WMA.

Yes, I recently found out only the Windows version coverts unprotected wma's. I'm just going to covert them on my PC, and put them on my network. Thanks for the help guys!
