10.4: WMA conversion with QuickTime Pro and Flip4Mac

I haven't seen this posted anywhere, but on my Intel Mac with the newest Flip4Mac WMA components, I can convert WMAs using Quicktime Pro to any format of choice.

EasyWMA works but is slower. Hyperion works as well, but direct conversion to AAC isn't possible. Quicktime Pro solves both these issues.

Unfortunately, not all the tags are preserved. Perhaps we are one step away from being able to use Flip4Mac as a plug-in for iTunes (like the OGG plug-in), so conversion (and the associated quality loss) isn't necessary.
