			I'm not  going to give too many details because I wouldn't want this site to get a DMCA takedown notice, but it's pretty easy to turn a WMA file into a .wav .mp3 or .ogg on  windows by playing with winamp and re-recording with audacity.  
However, it was  suprisingly not easy to do (as in I couldn't do it) with Linux.

Hehe,
The only test you can trust is an ABX test by yourself :)

Of course I know that. You can do that with any audio, but that's a crappy method. It messes up the volume levels and distorts the audio by recording based on the OS's current volume settings rather than the file's original levels. Re-recording is bad.

Seconded. I'm not going to bin or delete this thread yet, but I would prefer  it if further replies followed mobrien_12's example and left the specifics out. They're easily found elsewhere, and I have no desire to leave MES open to a confrontation with RIAA lawyers.

			This site is hosted in Canada.  Good luck, RIAA.
