Default Reading WMA files

Hi guys!

My radio can read and play MP3 but not WMA. Is there a computer patch upgrade to solve this issue?

I have the 6 CD in dash cd changer, no AUX-In port (buju buju!).

Thanks,

hmm thats weird, every mp3 cd player i have ever owned would also read wma files, did you call the dealer and ask them? that would my first idea,

o btw check your manual to make sure that it is supposed to read wma also

Default Reading WMA files...

Thanks for your suggestion. The player is just ignoring all WMA files and continue playing any MP3 file found on the CD. No errors at all. I just got used to it until I created this CD with a lot of songs and most of them are in WMA format. From over 85 songs it just play 16 and start from song 1 (which is not really the first song in the disk).

There's a free WMA-to-MP3 converter out there but then you'll have to type-in all the artist and album information (for each song) and will take over 1:30hr. to convert all them.

Anyone out there with this same radio?

Thanks,

if you have the regular audio cds i would suggest just ripping them back to you hard drive as mp3s instead of wmas, probably the easiest way to get them on w/o retyping the info and losing quality


i do NOT recommend a converter bc they tend to lose alot of the sound quality in the conversion process
