Here are two, this is all I could find at cnet, that are freeware. I haven't tried either one...so no recommendations from me. One seems to be packed with spyware, the other has its limitations. Read the user reviews. HTH Here is a link that might be useful: cnet

I've been using JetAudio for several years now and have never had any problem converting from any format to any other format. It will even convert to some formats I've never heard of. The plus version even works well with video files. Just click on "convert" at the top of the program, then go down to the "output format" window and click on the arrow there to select the format you want to convert to. You can even configure the output file and save it wherever you choose. Works for me...

Interesting video. I've never seen anything like that. If I had have had to guess, I would have thought it was receiving mail and you were getting bombed. :) But it seems to have happened to others as well: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/livemail-email/windows-live-mail-continued-issues-duplicate/22d3d165-60e1-4c20-9775-ac934698b30f?msgId=74bb9174-ed33-4fcf-9148-6ea163388d90 and http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/windows-live-mail-hundreds-of-duplicate-messages/d52b5445-4389-421b-a538-11fadfe2f807 As for an easier way to delete all your unread emails at once, from http://msgroups.net/microsoft.public.outlook.general/how-to-delete-all-emails-in/62867: "Press control-a to select all files and then press shift-delete to permanently delete all" sounds like it might work. I could be wrong but I don't think the duplicating emails was caused by a virus, just a glitch of some sort... but like I say, I don't really know. Perhaps someone else will.

Your post is a little confusing - you say you really don't know anything about the MP3 format, but you wish to purchase a rather expensive player aimed at people who know a lot about it, and are willing to do firmware upgrades and other tweaks to get the most out of it. Cowon is a Korean company without any presence in the US other than having a sales distributor - and no real support - not something I'd recommend based on your description of MP3 and computer knowledge. Before buying anything, you may really wish to learn more about the format, digital rights management, conversion software, and other available players.
