Query re mp3 compatible micro hifi

Recently bought the sony cmt-cpx11 hifi which can also play mp3s.

However, just saved a mixture of wma files and mp3 files to a cd and it will only play the mp3s.

Does anyone know why this is and whether I can get round it?

Thanks.

    you would need to convert the Wma files to MP3 format

    I think hellion's right.

    Will only play 'em if it says it's capable of playing wma's in the instructions

    dbpoweramp is a light and quick progam for conversion
  • Nice one, thanks. And there was me thinking wma was just the normal format on a cd! :-[

    Will give this a go.

    forgot to metion,

    for dbpoweramp to convert wma you need to install a small plugin here (number 2 unless you have an old version of media player)

    Only takes a few seconds

    Alternatively, right-click the wma file and select "convert" and it takes you to that page anyway :):)
