I get a deal to download all the songs I want... catch is they are ASF. Anyway to legally convert them? (notice www.cdigix.com) I tried something called ASX to MP3 convertor and it demands that I have liscence for the music, which I do, but doesn't convert anyways. Any help is appreciated.

no clue what asf is

you could always burn them all to a cd, and rip em back as mp3's
i had to do that to convert my whole music libary from wma to mp3 so i could put them on an mp3 cd. that was not fun.

Stepvoice recorder. It will record whatever is heard through the sound card. You are essentially re-recording the ASF, and thus re-encoding it.

Press record on the Stepvoice, hit play in windows media - and you're off.

Total Recorder is my choice for that kind of thing.

ASF to MP3 is a program I used a few years back. I think the GTA3 Music files where of this format thats why I had to do it.

Digital licensing and DRM is crap and useless. If you can hear it, you can record it. Period.

Assuming this is ASF audio-only, you can use Audacity to record the stream and then encode it directly to MP3 (from Audacity) using LAME MP3 Encoder.

Yes, it really is that simple.

Thank you all for your replies, and I've tried both Audacity and Stepvoice and they work great... but the thing is that I went crazy with the free liscense.... and now I have a library of 4000 songs. Is there any way to not have to do each song individually? Like just do a batch run and have it change the codec and keep the IDE v3 & v2 tags?

What you could try is Use a file writer with winamp to convert them into wav
then use Itunes to convert them to AAC or MP3
