WMA and MP3 are both lossy formats. converting from one to another tends 
to distort the quality of the music. If you want to do it the right way, 
record your music it in FLAC format (lossless open source format )  or  
Ogg Vorbis - Lossy, better than MP3, open source format and it will play 
out of the box in Fedora
