OK, I decided to take Mr Pilcher's advice, but used a freeware program called ABC Amber audio converter. It seems tto be working OK, but I'm curious as to how long it takes to convert an average 10MB wav to mp3, the problem being that I have around 8000 songs to convert. I remember thinking when I clicked go that if each wav took 5 seconds I needn't hold my breath, if it took ten seconds then more of the same. Then I started wondering what if the average wav takes a minute, five minutes, ten minutes.
I'm curious becasue there's no time indicator on the program; it's still only 22 hours (!!!) and it's not as though the lappy is doing anything else. But......
