Is there an easy way to convert wma files to mp3s? Al the songs I have bought from Napster end up as WMAs which are no good to man nor beast. Help!

You need a DRM Converter.
Try tunebite or WMA-Convert. You can download a trial, but they will only give you 30-second trials on your computer. You will need to purchase them to get full perks.

Some backchannels allow you to download "serials and cracks" which give you a code to unlock the registered version. I do not recommend doing this, as my friends have had a menagerie of viruses from this method!
You could try downloading dBpowerAMP for a trial period of 30 days, which would be ample time for you to convert all your WMA files into MP3.

Beswald's suggestion would work if it was just a regular wma, and not a drm-protected wma, as they actually are. So, you need to do one of two things: don't buy them in the first place, because you can't use them properly (I suggest this, though it's hardly of any use right now); and secondly, you could find some sort of drm-remover like conna131192 suggests. I'm not aware of any immediately, but I'm sure they exist.
If you have a fairly decent sound card and are happy with the quality you can use a program called (or similar to) Super MP3 Recorder Pro...

Basically whatever it being sent out thru your speakers you can record.. make sure all other sounds are off, play the song, record it and save it as MP3 or otherwise..

Since the sound isnt leaving your pc to come back in there is no or very little loss in quality.. not that you'd notice anyway. I've used to it re-record iTunes tracks so I can port them to any MP3 player or burn them to cd over and over.
