wma to mp3 errors; losing file size on conversion

[gidget00]

When I convert wma's to mp3's, the mp3's won't play. I was actually able to convert 2 tracks successfully, but the remaining files will not play through itunes. The file size says zero KB on disk once converted. How can I get the wma's to convert to mp3's so I can play them in a playlist with itunes?

Not all wma's are created equal. Some are "DRM'ed" (that is, they have "digital rights management" protection), to prevent unauthorized copying. That can cause the problem you're describing. So, too, can a damaged source file.
