msbelle, what format does Musicmatch download files in? In my version of Musicmatch, you can convert from .wav to mp3.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Alternately msbelle, you could burn those songs some other way with another program, and then reupload them as mp3 files.
That's what I was going to suggest. I think that the Windows Media Player will burn audio CDs from WMA files.

Butting into the techical discussion to answer the musical question:
The song I smacked myself on the forehead for forgetting is "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" by U2. 'Twas not only written for a movie (The Million Dollar Hotel, which I suspect only diehard U2 fans saw), but the title and lyrics were taken directly from the Rushdie book of the same name.
Love that song. Hate self now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
but the title and lyrics were taken directly from the Rushdie book of the same name.
And the book was inspired by him touring with U2.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I can't figure out how to convert on MusicMatch. I sorta just jumped in using these things taht came uploaded on my computer and I suspect they are not the best featured versions of the products.
I am just going to re-rip my CDs as MP3s.

Well, I did know about that. I jsut didn't know it was based on his touring with the band.
I'm still peeved that only the Brits got the song at the end of All That You Can't Leave Behind.
And while I'm in peeved mode: Hey! U2 camp! Let's get a freakin' official word on the new CD! Some rumors say May. Some say March. Some say not until fall, and then still others say not until next year!
Unacceptable! Want CD now! Now! NOW!
And now I have run out of exclamation points.

An excellent idea. However, I am obsessive about quality, so I plan to rip the songs for my comp as uncompressed .wav files.

I haven't heard it before either, and I remember reading an interview with Rushdie when the book was published. Which isn't to say it isn't true...
