i wanna play wma files

my mate has made me a cd, and is making me some more with wma music files and mp3s (mostly wma files) on.
i can play mp3s so (stupidly) thought i could play wma files as well (cos i used to make cds in windows media and they played in everything.

turns out, all i can play is the mp3s- is there any cheap way of playing them (i.e a cheap cd player or dvd player?)
things arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then ;)
BH is my best mate too, its ok :)

I trust BH even if he's from Manchester.. ;)

    what software is your friend using to write the cds?

    if he is using windows media, you can seleect an option to make it create mp3 files.

    i had a similar problem with my daughters mp3 player, i copied files from a cd using windows media player, without realising all the files are type wma unless you change the option top mp3.

    I am sure other software also has the same changeable options
    smile --- it makes people wonder what you are up to.... ;) :cool:
  • he used windows media, but changed the bitrate. and i think it changes them to wma files?
    i can't be certain about the tech aspects without him being around to ask
