Hi Wayne, In WinFF if you choose audio in the convert to list and MP3 in the preset list, when you use the add button the message will be "select video files." Ignore that message, tab once and make sure that "all files" is the choice in the "files of type" box and browse to your folder. You will find the WMA files to convert. Let me know if that isn't what you were wanting to know.
Take care.
