Convertors to MP3 from WMAs for IPOD

OK, since IPODs wont play "protected" songs in WMA format, (like from Napster) someone must know of a convertor program out there to change them to MP3s. Right now, I have to burn them to a CD, them rip them back to my PC in MP3 format, and then load them into the IPOD. Big P.I.T.A...... And no, im going to use ITunes....
Anybody?

There is at least one "transcoder" plug-in for Winamp, and there's also an iPod plug-in (which I haven't tried yet). With Winamp Pro and a few free plug-ins, you can basically play, convert, rip or burn just about anything.

I'm not sure, but I suspect the winamp transcoder plug-in will work fine with the regular/free winamp.

Hmmm..... well, LAME (Lame Ain't an MP3 Encoder) is my standard fare for making mp3's, though it doesn't look like it'll take a WMA input. My bet is that in order to get the code for working with a Microsoft(tm) Windows(tm) Media(tm) file, the people who build that software pay a hefty licensing fee, which would explain the lack of free options.
