Hi David,

Yes, both the programs are freeware.  The web site for the WMA to MP3 converter 
is www.jodix.com and the site for the WINFF program is www.winff.org.  

Take care.

Brian tell me if these programs are free to distribute or simply just to use. 
If they are free to distribute then some fine rainy day they might just find 
their way up on the server.
