    You can use lame.exe from commandline:
    lame --alt-preset standard infile.wav or to encode a whole directory of .wavs:
    for %i in (d:\wavfiles\*.wav) do lame --alt-preset standard "%i"

    You can use a frontend like lamedropXPd (.wav -> mp3) or dbPowerAmp (any sound file -> mp3).

    Encoding from one lossy format (wma) to another (mp3) decreases quality so try to avoid it if possible.

    In case you have some weird problems with wma you can always use totalrecorder to capture playback of wma files, save to wav and convert to mp3 later.
