small problem - I'm only D/Ling .wma files - No .mp3

[GFUNK503]

So yesterday i downloaded Bearshare for the first time. i got the newest version and downloaded 1420 songs, buttttttt when i went to put them into itunes to get them onto my ipod the files were protected wma files. i spent most of today trying to convert the files and unlock them but have had no luck. so i decided to delete those files because they are stuck on my computer (i didnt want to burn ever single song to a CD). i downloaded the older bearshare and the bearstart. but the thing that was sooo awsome about the bearsahre that i had was downloading whole CDs at a time. is this possible in the older version????
