Why would you want to do that in the first place unless you like losing quality...

There's no reason to convert a format which runs on all platforms into a M$ proprietary format from which you can never convert your data back to anything free.

You can't. You'd need an encoder, and Microsoft (the only company able to do so) has never made one for the Mac.

On second thought, you might be able to do it with Cleaner; I'm not sure on that one. But is converting your music to a non-interoperable, inferior format really worth the $600 that Cleaner costs?

Yes Cleaner 5.1.x works perfectly.
