You'll have to adjust the settings on your computer. I could tell you how to do this in both Windows Media Player or MusicMatch but I don't know what you're using. Also, yes... you can fit more with mp3 format. The mp3 format compresses the songs to about a 10th the file size as the wma format. Given that you're defaulting to WMA I'd say you're using Windows Media. If that's the case then open up Windows Media Player. Select Tools from the menu, then Options. Select the second tab, 'Rip Music'. In the middle of the screen there is a drop down menu labeled 'Format', select mp3 from this menu. The default setting for quality on this should be 128Kbps, this is the optimum setting... you can make it higher but the songs will take up more space. This is 'near CD quality' so if you're happy with this then use it.

Depending on which media player you're using, you'll need to go into the options menu (usually under Tools), to make sure that the program is set to rip the CDs to MP3 instead of WMA. This is usually the solution.
If you're using Windows Media Player go to Tools > Options > Copy Music tab. Now make sure that the format in the drop-down menu reads MP3. Don't forget to raise the quality if that's important to you.
Also, open the music folder where the files are being saved, and click on View > Details to check to make sure they are MP3 files.

Audiograbber is very good for ripping CDs. You will need to install it and then install the appropriate Lame codec but that is very easy and explained on the website:

Yes a CD full of MP3s can contain about 12 music CD's worth. You will either have to play them on a PC or use a CD player which is MP3 compatible. MP3 CD players are generally available these days - just make sure it will play MP3s when you buy it. I have one and I can fit about 12 hours of music with very little loss of quality (certainly not detectable on headphones) on one CD. Heck! I have to change the batteries more often than the CD!

Use a program that rips to MP3, widows media player will do it (somewhere in the settings) with a for pay plugin

i never did it for cd's but for pictures you can go to where your saving it. under the box on the lower part where you can change the name is a box that has options for what to save it as. cpu should give you a few options to save it as a diff type of file.
