This might not be the simplest solution, but you can decode the file with xine
(play back into a file, see option -A) and then encode to mp3 with lame. On
the other hand, both wma and mp3 are lossy formats but in a different way, so
encoding music into one format then the result into the other one you can
expect to have lost more than by using just one of them.
