I dug this up in a quick search haven't tested it myself since I use linux.  My quick read suggests that it does pro-logic as well as 5.1.

This is a very simple process.  Go to google and search "sound file converter".  There is a great amount of free programs designed for just his purpose.  I will give you a recommendation on a program once I find one, okay?  Please refrain from downloading until then.\n\nOn a different note, are you wanting to transfer them from the CD to the computer?  If so, email me and tell me what version of Windows Media Player you are running.

Try Blaze Media Pro. I don't know for sure that it will do it. I haven't worked any with protected content. But it is an excellent audio converter. Here's a link to the trial version.

Nero can do it but its a matter of searching for the right plugins, an easier solution is to get db poweramp, it'll let you convert several different types of formats back and forth and you can also change some of the settings, like bit rate, compression rate etc.  goto http://www.dbpoweramp.com/

In everything from CD's to DVD's, stuff like 5.1 is basically a non-propriety format of Dolby Digital, as Dolby Labs has it patented.\n\nDD is commonly available on most middle-top end TV's and PC's, and boasts way superior sound to Nicam, and Virtual Dolby, and for a true effect, requires external speakers and a filter on the device.

If you want to convert them into another format ( mobile phone, iPods, mp4...and anything else) or rip just the sound use this awesome free program called Super http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

The easiest way to do it on the cheap side is with a program called AUDACITY. Audacity is an open source sound editor with some function of highend adio editing software. It isn't as feature packed as Adobe Audition or other commercial software but it will do for your question.\n\nDownload Audacity>\nhttp://audacity.sourceforge.net/\n\nInstall Audacity and open it.\n\nON the FILE menu, Select OPEN. point the program to the path of the sound you want to change to 44.1 Wav. It will open. Now at the bottem of Audacity you will see a box that says  PROJECT RATE, click on it and select 44100.\n\nNow goto FILE and select EXPORT AS WAV. a box appears,browse to where you want to save, change the filename  and click SAVE. Wait a few seconds it's done.\n\nAlternativly you can use winamp.\nDownload and install winamp (if you don't have it yet)\nhttp://www.winamp.com\n\nOpen it up.\nDrag and drop your file/s into the playlist editor. Goto OPTIONS and select PREFERENCES. In the Sub tree of the section marked PLUGINS, click on OUTPUT. Click on the NULLSOFT DISK WRITER PLUGIN and then click on the button CONFIGURE below. Change the Output directory. Check CONVERT TO FORMAT, select format PCM and attributes 44.100kHz,16 bit stereo and click OK. Click OK again and CLOSE. before you press play make sure repeat is disabled (the circle arrow thing must not have a light on).\n Click PLAY. winamp will now make all the tracks in your playlist editor into single files with the names of the files you selected.\n\nWhen your doen just go back to preferendes, Plugins > output and click on DIRECT SOUND OUTPUT and click CLOSE so that winamp will play normal.\n\nthere are 100's of programs that will work easier but most are trial versions.\n\nYou didn't give that much info about why you want to or from what kind of source you are working, so advice is limited. It isn't a good idea to upsample the rate say from 22 or 32 to 44.1, because it will introduce nosie which may be audible(best way i can describe it).

Windows Audio Converter. It comes with Media Center Edition...if you have that...if not you can search audio converter on google and a ton of stuff comes up but...this is what I do...Where did you get your WMA? From a cd? Then put the cd back in and use Exact Audio Copy to make an uncompressed .wav then use Besweet GUI to turn it into a nice clean compact .mp3. ;) Sounds complicated but it's not and the sound is great. Plus they're both freeware!
