How can this be done? I tried a Google search, and _every_ suggestion on the message boards pointed to a 404 or a bunch of nonsense. I’ve gone to [download.com](http://download.com) and couldn’t find anything that actually worked. Does anyone have an existing program that they could recommend?

Try [Musicmatch.com](http://Musicmatch.com)

If I understand correctly what you’re trying to do, this program has it all, converting, burning, the whole bit.

Hope this helps.

Winamp can play WMA, I believe. It can also output directly to disk, via a WAV file. So you might give that a try.
