Yes, but:
1) I have no reason to install or run iTunes otherwise (so I'd use
something else to do the conversion)
2) MP3 files are about 50% larger than WMA for similar sound quality,
so I'd get only 2/3 as much on any given size player, and my
archive would take 50% more space

No problem for me; I have no encrypted content.

format?
