is there a free program to convert wave to mp3 for free
EAC w/ Lame... it'll even name your files (assuming the disc is in freedb).
Edit: it'll definately convert WAVs that are already on your drive (Tools -> Compress WAVs), but it may not do the DB lookup and naming process unless you rip and encode directly from disc.
when i pull songs into itunes, they are not coverting to mp3
todd dbpoweramp will do this, I believe it's free for 30 days, invaluable to me so I bought it.
do a search at www.download.com
there are TONS of freeware programs that will do this :)

Teddy's right, foobar rules. This beast will play anything...I opened a 24 bit .flac file in it the other night. I love EAC too.

There's an mp3 convertor built right into iTunes...look for a "convert selection to mp3" menu item. Not sure where it is in the PC version, but the Mac version has it under the "Advanced" menu.

Just be careful!!! - EAC is set to "Delete Source Files" by default when converting to MP3
...learned this the hard way...
mkw act will do it as well. I use and love dbpoweramp. I use foobar for playback.
LAME is the only mp3 converter that matters. Nothing else comes close.

I agree. I use LAME with Foobar2000 for my iPod stuff.
