WMA in iTunes or WMA to MP3

From what i understand there is no way to let iTunes play WMA? Is there a nice free program for converting to MP3? THanks everyone

The QuickTime Player will play WMA if you have Flip4Mac installed.

Easy Way: just add them to the iTunes Library via Add to Library or Import via the iTunes file menu.
I have Flip for Mac installed. Most of my MP3's in iTunes were WMP format.
OSX 10.4.7

But very strange i couldnt manage to do so:

Converting WMA Files
In iTunes for Windows, you can convert your unprotected WMA files to AAC files (or whatever file format is chosen in the Importing pane of iTunes Preferences) without changing the original WMA file. Simply drag the WMA files into your library in iTunes and iTunes does the grunt work, converting them for you. Windows Media Player 9 or later must be installed to convert unprotected WMA files. Protected WMA files cannot be converted.

Also, Download Flip4Mac free here.

Extra: Add WMA to files iTunes

There a small freeware program called "switch" that can convert WMA's to mp3's as well as other format. Its easy to use and free so I recommend looking it up.
