How do I go about importing WMA files into iTunes and adding them to my library.

With MP3's I just drag and drop the files into a new playlist, and iTunes automatically converts them. This doesn't work for me with WMA's. I thought WMA's were supported.

You don't. iTunes does not support WMA.

Does it convert? That might be a way to change it.

The windows version of iTunes will convert the WMA to MP3 or AAC which iTunes supports. I'm sure there is a way to convert WMA on a Mac, but don't know what it is.
