.wma to .mp3?

How do I do this for free? I have a Mac. I thought Flip4Mac would let me do it via Quicktime, but apparently not.

Oh, yeah, not an option then. :(

I also want to know how to tell iTunes something is an audiobook, or isn't a podcast, but that question might be worth a whole 'nother post.

This should be a tagging issue. If I recall (I haven't used iTunes much lately, since I moved to linux and became an Amarok fan) there should be a checkbox in the dialog box you use to edit tags for a song to tell it it's an audiobook or podcast.

I've looked for such tags, and as far as I can tell it's not viewable/editable through iTunes.

When're they going to do genre tags on mp3s instead of folders?

Google says the trick is to convert the files from mp3 to aac (m4a) and then rename the files from m4a files to m4b files. This I view as proof that Apple is stupider than people think. Meta tags are there for a reason. Doing sorting operations at the machine level with file extensions is dumb.
