Question A New one!!! can i convert an MP3 to WMA?

This is a new one... I know everyone wants to do the opposite, but I would like to convert an MP3, (or AAC or AIFF) into a WMA file.
ICK! i know... but I need to do this in order to bypass the restrictions on my Canadian cell phone to use my own files as ringtones. I have looked everywhere, even switchmac, but it only converts files to WMA on a PC system.
Is it even possible to create a WMA file on mac?

Does this link help?

I'm taking a long shot that you have a certain type of phone ....

Does your phone only support wma's?

got it!

thanks, I actually have a nokia, but canadian cell companies limit the features of the phones. but I found out you can bypass this by converting files to wma or wav. so, since I have a mac, I will go to wav.
