Unless they are lossless WMA, you probably want to leave them asis or
rerip them.

Why?  Because the nature of lossy compression gets worse with every
generation of re-encoding.  A lossy file converted to FLAC, for
example, will sound -exactly- like the lossy file, and take 3-4 times
the disk space.  A 192k WMA lossy file re-compressed to a 192k MP3 will
take the same space, but sound like you ripped it originally at 128k or
lower.

That's one of the advantages to ripping to FLAC: rip once and convert
to whatever you want.   With a lossy rip, you will have to redo it if
you ever change your mind about what format you want.
