I recently downloaded dozens of "beginner" Chinesepod.com chinese language podcasts in MP3 format - over 1GB of files. That just wouldn't do on my 2GB chiPod. So I downloaded Microsoft's "Plus Media Bonus Pack for Windows XP" which contains the "MP3 Audioconvert LE" program. I reduced my disk storage to about 500MB by converting to WMA format - without sacrificing audio quality.
Usage is simple - just choose a directory full of MP3 files and let the program convert them alll to WMA. BTW, I did find one problem: conversion would fail if you started accessing or viewing any files you were converting before they were finished converting.
I've temporarily hosted the utility here:

Unzip the file into your
C:\Program Files directory
