At lower bit rates, the file sizes of WMA and MP3 are similar. For example, at 64 Kbit/s, a five minute audio file saved in the WMA format is 2.6MB, while the same file saved as an MP3 is 2.4MB. At higher bitrates, however, the MP3 format results in smaller files.

First of all, you need to get a WMA file from CD to your computer. Insert CD and open it with Windows Media Player, click on Tools > Options and select Rip Music tab. Then specify the location you want to rip music to and choose MP3 as the Format. After that, hit OK to proceed.
Thanks. I know how to convert files, but there are two problems. One, converting 13,000 files takes a very long time. The software programs do it one file at a time. And, when you convert that many files, it doesn't sort the music into albums and artists. Also, I disposed of the CDs a long time ago.
