The program is called switch. It's an open source project from Austrailia.
Well, I attempted to use Switch but I was unsuccessful. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, but Limewire will not allow you to drag a WMA file out of the LW library into Switch for conversion. I even tried the "Save As" feature in LW to put the WMA files someplace other than LW on my computer, but it did not work. Does this feature work in the Pro version? The only way I can access these files is through Limewire. The Limewire Library isn't even viewable when you browse the LW application folder in OSX. The library is "grayed" out and won't let you click on it.

Any ideas or helpful hints would be much appreciated.
