Download GoldenWave. It is free and will open WMA files and you can then save-as MP3.
You will also have to download LAME which is an MP3 plugin.
It's what I use. Although if you are ripping a CD into computer files and you are using Windows Media Player, you can set the default file type to MP3.

I'm not sure about the Ipod sepecifaically, but a lot of the time MP3 players will accept WMA files. Try to sync it over using Windows Media Player (if you don't have tha option, you need the newest version. I belive it's 10).

hook your equipment to the audio-input of your computer and use some recording software (such as audition or maybe the built-in recording thing in the start-menu) to record it and save it as a wav-file (approx. 10MB/minute is needed). Then use some wav->mp3-encoding software, such as LAME or maybe itunes will do it.

If you download the CD into iTunes it should be able to transfer right to your iPod, no hassle. Always works for me. iTunes is free to download from iTunes.com
