Why do you think that mp3 hurts the record companies? They're fucking idiots, just like you. I've said this millions of times before, I respect the artists, so if I like their mp3s, I buy their CDs! Is that too deep for you, kiddie? Were you one of those 7 people who voted for less than 40 on the IQ poll? I bet you were. Anyway, the RIAA blows. 'nuff said
"The RIAA has the support of heavy hitters AOL, AT&T, IBM, Lucent, Microsoft, Matsushita, RealNetworks, Sony, and Toshiba."
Hmm, could someone explain to me what AOL has to do with MP3/MP4?
I also think that the RIAA is completely wrong in thinking that the mp3 arena is full of piracy and that the artists don't receieve any compensation for their music. There's no telling how many times I've caught myself downloading some "illegal" mp3s of some band I never would have heard otherwise and then going out and buying the CD(s) at a local store or from CDNOW.com! And I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this.

I remember hearing about a realaudio > wav converter. And it's simple to convert waves to mp3s. Beyond that, I haven't a clue.
