PaulPonting

I am trying to download music onto my Micro SD Card to use on my Samsung Tablet S6. i have downloaded the music from My Windows Media Player, by synchronising and this appear in my File explorer as a WPL file. I understand in need to convert my WPL files into an MPU file to enable me to download the music onto my Micro SD card. How do I do this please. I have tried inserting the Micro SD card into one my USB port on my PC, but so far have had no success. Any help or feedback will be really appreciated.

A WPL file is a playlist file. It doesn't contain any music.


You need to copy the music files themselves. These could be MP3 files. It depends on what format your music is saved in.

WMA files to MP3 files is the conversion the OP is looking for, as you say the quoted files are playlist only.

The audio might not be in WMA format. If Windows media player was used to rip cd's the music could be in wma or mp3 (or FLAC on Windows 10) format. If the music was sourced elsewhere then who knows what format it is in. The OP needs to specify.

I have pre recorded music downloaded on Windows Media Player and what I want to do is to burn/rip the music onto a micro SD card to use on my Samsung Tablet. However when I tried to do this the music went into a file on my PC in a WLA formt ( where it remains) and on not onto to my micro SD card in MPU (or MP3 format) . The SD card was plugged into a USB port on my PC, so theoretically it should have worked but didn't. What am I doing wrong please..

What format is the music in on your computer? Is it in MP3 format already? If it is you could just navigate to the music via the file browser and copy it onto the sd card.

With the sd card plugged into your computer open up Windows Media Player and go to the options (Tools menu). Go to the devices tab. Select the sd card and you can tell Windows Media Player what format audio files should be on the card - set it to MP3 and choose an appropriate bit rate.

Then in the WMP library you should be able to see the contents of the SD card on the sidebar on the right and drag music from the library onto the card. WMP will then convert the audio if necessary into the format you previously set.

My music files are in WPL formal in the file manager section on my PC. How can I transfer them into MP3 format to enable me to download them onto my SD card please. The above post was helpful but for a technical novice like me it was a little difficult for me to,apprehend. I am not certain it covers what I am hoping to accomplsh . Any further suggestions will be most welcome as I am determined to get it right. I am on Windows 10. Thank you

No they aren't. People have already explained that to you.


WPL files are playlists that point to the actual music so you can play a whole album of individual files in one go.


You need to find the actual music files, which will be wherever you told the tool you used to rip them to save them.


If you don't know, search using Windows search.


Or you could try opening the WPL file in Notepad, I assume they're in plain text or xml format and will show you a list of files and locations so you can go and find them.

WPL files are in xml and can be opened in notepad so you can see where the music files themselves are.

googler

Pick a track name, any unique track name, (that you know you have) and Search for it on your PC

This should return a single mp3 file, somewhere, IF you ripped it as mp3 originally.

From the search result, note the folder in which it appears, and navigate to that folder with Windows Explorer.

Look to see if all your other albums are there.
