>> Can I do this wwith just the apps that come with wind7 and windows live please.
not that I am aware of...
I would suggest a freeware program, such as:
Free MP3 WMA Converter
LameXP 4.03 Build 774 Final-2
Note: I've not tested the above software, just did a bid of research from my failing memory...

What program created the MP3 file, does the program have any ability to create, or save as, WMA files instead of MP3?
See if this older article gives you any ideas for options to try in WMP.
Produce MP3 files from a CD with Windows Media Player?

Thank you to all who replied to this post. Yes I did use the windows media option, I didn't think it had worked when I tried it the first time but had made the error of looking at the original file. Have heard of Audacity and will try this also.
Thanks again to techo savvy friends worldwide...
