Converting music files to MP3

I want to make a compilation CD and I believe the most reliable format for this is MP3. However I have a lot of music files that are either Realplayer or WMA. Looked at a few links for programs which convert these files on the Computer Active! website but they are not very reliable. What in your opinion is the best way to convert files such as these to MP3?

If you start converting between lossy formats then your CD will sound shit.
Thats a new one!
I want to put the files on a CD so I can play them on a radio at work.
Thanks for the advice. I'll probably start with Nero first. Currently been using Sonic Recordnow! which is somewhat fussy about file types. Realplayer is good I think but you need to sign up for premium membership, which I'm a bit unwilling to do at this stage.
everytime you convert from one format to the next you'll lose some kind of quality.
Best to start withthe higest possible quality which is the original CD's
It'd just make more sense if CD-burning programs supported Realplayer (which is the format I tend to like to use) in the first place. But that's life
