It really depends on their current bit rate as there's no point in converting to MP3 at a higher bit rate than they currently are. By converting from one format to another you will potentially have some quality loss as encoders use different methods to discard musical information that it regards as useless. Therefore, if the MP3 encoder you use throws away information that WMA previously used, and WMA threw away information that MP3 uses, the results may not be as good as you'd hoped.
Unless you have a very good reason to convert, I wouldn't bother. Better to rip from the original CD if that's an option.
