# not that i can find
the way i did it was to burn the albums I'd made into WMA format onto cd, then re-encode into iTunes.

Mind you, i'd only made three or four albums in WMA format, because it's bollox.

# Never use WMA!
It may be an OK codec, but it ties you to Windows. MP3 is a cross-platform format that many more devices can handle.
Re-encoding from WMA to MP3 will probably result in poor audio quality, so it's better to re-encode your music from CD to MP3.
