<p>Actually now that I look closer at Sound Recorder in Vista, unless you are using Vista Business N or Vista Home Basic N, your recordings default to .WMA and you can't change it!&nbsp; Bleh.&nbsp; With the &quot;N&quot; versions (no i'm not making that up) it defaults to .wav only.&nbsp; This is because of the whole European Microsoft court case where they sued MS for all the bundling of Media Player and IE.</p><p>Of course, no one cares about any of that, and Vista sucks anyway so all of you STAY AWAY FROM IT!!!&nbsp; It's Evil I tells ya!&nbsp; oo look at all the eye candy... mmm transparent windows...&nbsp; /droool</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh ya wtf was I saying?&nbsp; Use Audacity, for the win.&nbsp;</p>

I can do it with Acoustica's MP3 To Wave Converter Plus.
