Mixture of mp3 and wma files on my muvo

I got a muvo tx last week as a gift. I copied about 250K of mp3 and wma files to it from my laptop running windows xp pro. The player plays all of the mpe files with no problem but won't play any of the wma files. The wma files were ripped from a cd using Windows Media Player.
Any advice on playing the wma files will be appreciated. The little manual that came with the player says it will play mp3, wma, and wav files.

JimR,
For WMA audio files with DRM protection, you will need to use either Windows Media Player or Creative MediaSource application to do the transferring of the files to the player. Only by using these application can the license be transfer to the player to allow playback.
Try ripping the Audio CD again but this time go to the Windows Media Player 9 setting option and ensure that the 'Copy protect music' option is disabled.

  • Help!- MP3 and WMA files no longer playing on my Micro Pl

    I have a 52mb micro plus that I got in September 2005. All of a sudden, I can longer play my mp3 and wma files... just the radio. I have updated my creative zen file organizer, I have a full powered battery inside, I have done no significant damage to the player (I dropped the player once on the sidewalk but not from a big distance or very hard), and I really can't think of anything else that is causing the problem. Can someone please help me fix my player so I can start playing my music files again? Thank you.Message Edited by jjc92787 on 05--200707:0 AM

    No unfortunately not. I don't know how to escalate this to Apple tech but I think that is the next step as I believe it is IOS based problem, not user related.

  • How do I convert music when there is a mixture of mp3 and wma and alot of music?

    So I recently bought a Mac Book Pro, and had all my music from my old laptop put on a new external hard drive. The problem is some of the music is mp3 and some is wma and I have 9000 songs and don't want to go through each one to covert. What is the simplest was of coveting everything to mp3?

    You will have to use a third-party program to convert WMA files, iTunes won't do it.
    If you have WMA and MP3 files in the same folder, go into list view in the Finder and click on the top of the 'Kind' column to sort by kind and separate them. (If the 'Kind' column doesn't show, enable it in Finder menu 'View'>'Show View options'.
    You can then move all the MP3s into a separate folder. These can be imported directly into iTunes.
    This will leave the WMA files; you will need to look for a program which can batch convert them.

  • Can't transfer some .mp3 and .wma file

    I have recently purchased a Zen V plus MP3 player and updated the software and firmware for it.
    While I have successfully transferred a lot of my music mp3s and some of my audiobook mp3s, there are a few of my audiobook mp3s that won't transfer because it tells me that they are not in a supported format.
    I also had this problem when trying to transfer a .wma file.
    The thing is that I have been able to transfer these same files to another mp3 player (not Creative) without any problems.
    Can anyone help with a possible solution please?

    Do you have songs purcahsed by friends or family?
    As stated, you can only have songs from 5 different accounts sync'd to an iPod.
    See this -> Track Down Purchases

  • How do I convert an mp3 or WMA file to a m4a file?

    I read on another forum that iTunes can convert mp3 and wma files to m4a format.
    How do I do this?

    That is correct.
    By default if you load a .wma file into iTunes, it will AUTOMATICALLY convert it to another format first, since it needs to in order to play it. However, you can also convert any other file format that iTunes supports, assuming it can get loaded into iTunes.
    To set what format you want to convert to, go EDIT->PREFERENCES. Click the IMPORT SETTINGS button and select which encoder you want (AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV are supported) and then select the bit rate if you are choosing a lossy format (AAC/MP3).
    From there, any .wma files you load into iTunes (you can do this by going into iTunes and selecting FILE-> ADD FILE TO LIBRARY, or simply right clicking a .wma file and OPEN WITH iTunes) will convert to that format. ALSO, if you have any other files already in iTunes you wish to convert, select the file(s), and go to ADVANCED -> CREATE ___ VERSION (the blank being whatever you selected before) and it will convert for you.
    Remember, converting a lower quality song to a higher quality format/bit rate won't "up-covert" any quality, the lowest quality you start with is the highest you can possibly get, but if you still prefer to have a certain file format or bit rate to compress to, this is the feature you'd use!
    Let me know if you have any other questions!

  • Can't Import mp3s and wmas to itunes

    hi,my problem is that there are some mp3 and wma songs i have on my mac but when i try to put them on my library or basically try to listen to them on itunes nothing happens.i drag and drop them into library or manually import them but itunes just doesn't respond i even tried to manually open the directory music>itunes>itunes music>automatically add to itunes and dragged these mp3s into it but it just keeps ignoring them and throws them into a directory called 'not added'.can anyone help me?

    iTunes for Mac (unlike iTunes for Windows) cannot convert WMA files. You will need to use another Mac program, such as EasyWMA, to convert them into an iTunes compatible format.

  • WMP will play some mp3 and mkv files to my Sony TV but not others

    Hi,
    Windows Media Player will play some mp3 and mkv files to my Sony Bravia TV (KDL70W850B) but not others. I get the error: “Failed to retrieve media information”. Sometimes if I make a copy of the files that don’t play, I am able to play the copied files.

    I have stopped and restarted the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service and the UPnP Device Host Service; I also linked a Windows Live ID but this did not help. All devices have access to my PC and my TV has the latest software.
    I have Windows 7 and WMP 12 and according to my TV specs, the DLNA supported formats are: MPEG1/ MPEG2PS/ MPEG2TS/ AVCHD/ MP4Part10/ MP4Part2/ AVI(XVID)/ AVI(MotionJpeg)/ MOV/ WMV/ MKV/ WEBM/ 3GPP/ MP3/ WMA/ LPCM/ JPEG/ MPO
    I would appreciate any help you can offer.
    Thank you

    It seems to be an issue with Sony Bravia TV. According to the following article:
    Supported File Formats for DLNA® and USB Compatible Sony® TVs
    Under -Not all files are guaranteed to play.
    Sometimes HandBrake
    does help. I shall suggest you to contact Sony Bravia TV support.

  • Playing thu car stereo that only supports MP3 or WMA files

    How do I get my ipod to play thru my car stereo.. it appears my car will only recognize MP3 or WMA files. Cant seem to find a way to have ipod files be created in a format that will work with my car stereo.. Help???

    You can convert songs by using the iTunes Advanced menu -> Create XXX Version. What type of version is controlled by the encoder selected in the iTunes Preferences -> General pane. Click on the "Import Settings" button to change.
    When you use this, you will get an MP3 copy of each song you convert. You can find them in your library by sorting by the "kind" column and searching for "MPEG audio File".

  • HT1550 Convert multiple mp3 and wma at once in aac

    Hello All,
    I'm new at using iTunes, used to listen to my music in flac format with a Sandisk Sansa Clip+ (with a Rockbox rom).
    I've burned some of my CDs in mp3 and wma formats before burning them all again but in flac.
    Now with my brand new iPhone 5 16Go, I guess I'm better of using compressed format for keeping requiring space as little as possible.
    But in the online help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 the steps, describing how to convert files in aac or whatsoever, make me lost.
    Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
    Create MP3 version
    Create AAC version
    Create AIFF version
    Create WAV version
    Create Apple Lossless version
    If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > Convert Import preference setting. The Import preference setting will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted.
    I did the setup of Import setting. But those "Advanced" menu are not water clear for me.
    It's step 4 in the document.
    How may I select which songs I'd like to import and convert?
    Using Add to Library import them, then in iTunes, I select them all, then I have to go to File>Create New Version>Create AAC version.
    Only Create AC version remains dimmed if I don't have any songs in my Library.
    Therefore where am I supposed to press down Option key to make appearing the Advanced>Convert Import preference setting ?
    I'm lost.
    The only I found is to Add to Library, then Create new version, create AAC version.
    Thanks for your help.
    Kind Regards.

    After searching the forums I found a 3rd-party program called 'MP3 Trimmer' available at 'http://www.deepniner.net/mp3trimmer/'
    Once you have the application, go to Tools > MP3 joiner and you will find a window to drag and drop the audio files you wish to join.
    Select your target folder and wait for the conversion to complete. The end resulted in a single .mp3 file virtually the same size as all the previous files were collectively. I added the file to iTunes but decided not to convert it to AAC, though you can if you want to.
    There are some restrictions that apply, such as 'CBR and VBR MP3's cannot be joined together'... You can find out more about these in the Help section.

  • Converting MIDI and WMA files

    On another computer with an older version of iTunes, I was able to convert MIDI and WMA files to other formats including AAC and MP3. But on my own computer which has the latest version of iTunes, it can't convert the formats anymore. I can an "unknown error (-50)" message. What is wrong?

  • DMA 2100 - Audio Quality problems when playing mp3 or wma files

    I recently purchased a DMA 2100 - two weeks ago.
    Plays my streamed DVDs (VOB files) along with streamed video off the internet wonderfully.  I'm impressed that it actually seems to upscale my DVDs and the Audio quality is perfect.
    But when I try to play a simple mp3 or wma file  I experience pops, clicks and short dropouts during playback.
    Obviously my network is more then sufficient to push DVDs across reliably it should be able to push mp3s/wma files.  Network performance monitor shows me in the low end of HDTV capable and stable.  MP3s and WMAs are stored on the same disk as my DVD VOB files hence I don't expect there is a problem with my media center PC serving them. (PIII 3.0GHz, 2.5GBs, 2TB RAID 5 SATA Array)/  I was experiencing some problems with playback on my PC but that was resolved by upgrading the drivers for my audio card SB Audigly 2
    Any ideas?

    Looking further into this I also notice that my Media Center PCs processor is running all out 70%-100% processor utilization when streaming the MP3s or WMA files.
    Meanwhile when streaming DVDs the processor is at a rather lazy 10% or so.
    Anyone, any ideas why when Streaming DVDs my audio would be perfect and processor idle.... but when streaming WMAs my processor is pegged and the audio pops and crackels as it plays?

  • Walkman app not showing my downloaded podcast mp3 and m4a files

    Hi all,
    Hope someone can help me with an Issue on my Z3 Compact running Lollipop 5.0.2 firmware.
    I have a Music folder on my SDCard which contains all my music files in subfolders and all these files appear in the Walkman app just fine.
    I also have two folders called 'Podcasts' - one on the internal storage and one on the SDCard which contain mp3 and m4a files which I have downloaded using 3rd party apps.
    I would like to listen to these podcast files using the Walkman app - but they will not appear in Walkman - even if I try the Folders options.but it still will not show either of the Podcast folders.
    The weird thing is it lists voices and sounds / voices rom two different SatNav folders which are stored on the SDCard - but not the podcast folders!!
    It even lists a folder of foreign language audio mp3 files - but not the podcast files.
    The podcast files appear fine in PowerAmp whic even shows the tags and descriptions etc....So, why not Walkman?
    I even tried unmounting and re-mounting the SDCard to see if it would rescan - but still nothing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
