It looks like other people addressed you other points, but I just wanted to mention that WmA is not the format most CDs are in. In fact I've never seen a commercially produced music CD that was in that format. They are in a format that is native only to CD players, so anytime you are importing songs from a CD to your computer you are converting them to something whether that format is WmA or m4a or mp3 or wav or whatever.

Also, iTunes does play some Window files, such as wav.
