am I the only one who cant get WMA files to run???? half of my music is WMA and I cant get it to play in android at all.....
any suggestions on a fix??
http://www.jodix.com/ worked for me.
yea I was hoping I wouldnt have to convert them all back to mp3.... I ripped them into wma to save on space on my old phone to begine with... even made sure there was no DRM protection on the files so that they would play on most anything... but looking around it seems there isnt any real support for WMA files on android.... some phone will play them(looks like most of them have NEON support in the chips though) but most android phones dont do WMA
thanks for the link that looks like some decent freeware apps to convert files though!!!!!!
PowerAMP. Should be stock player. Awesome. Paid though. No need to covert it plays all files.

Yea that looks like me only option.. poweramp looks realy nice! Thanks for the suggestion

it is super nice. EQ, with preamp, Cover Art, all kinds of stuff. Plus the major bonus of not having to hastle with converting all your WMA into MP3 and so on. Just put the music on your SD and go. WAY nicer then the stock music app
only some wma files play on my defy
I just paid for upgrade to power amp and still some wma files do not play on my defy. using 2.2.1 and have always been able to play only some of my wma files, even with stock music player. I even plugged the phone into a pc that does not have these music files on it, and was able to navigate to them on the sd card and play fine from the pc, so can't be corrupt filers right? have tried many diff't android market players but same results on all. any ideas? thanks.
Its a rights issue i would imagine. Never had a problem. Try writing the application developer.

Hey guys anyone know of any new changes in the stock music player? Will there actually be an EQ? I even noticed the music player looked different at the Google IO correct me if I'm wrong if anyone knows anything let us know even though the froyo out now still has some bugs thnx
Mine did not play .aac files
No changes yet. The demo was for whats to come in a later update. Theres absolutely no change in froyo.
No change in Froyo. The new music player is for the Gingerbread update.

That is a shame, if google put as much effort into the music player, as they did the gallery, they would be set.
Mine didn't either

thnx I wish they would sooner because the music really SUCKS and is flat on there
Nope, no sign of the Music player demoed in the keynote. I suggest Cubed, it's a very slick music player.
I like mixZing too. Automatically makes intelligent choices on what to play next based on your current music queue

are you sure look at when that guy transfers music onto his phone from a computer the controls look different unless he is using another player?
apk path has to be different, because i tried to apply the music mod that was available on 2.1 (allowed you to put a decent looking widget with album cover on a screen)
now i have two copies of music :/ my headset buttons control only the froyo version, but not the music widget i want.
sucks, lol

Hey guys if your having problems playing some music files here's what you do:
Put the music that you can't play on your sd card.
Get "Astro file manager" from the market.
open the app and find your music.
select the song click and hold it...
select "Edit" and then "Rename"
delete what ever is after .
(for example, song Iloveyou.wma)
(delete the wma and type .mp3
and your all SET!
I cant play .wav files, I get voicemail from my office (exchange) in a .wav format and I cant play them anymore (used to on 2.1).
Runing 2.2 now, any suggestions?
I contacted the developer of btunes and he said he doesn't even have permission to develop or put an equalizer on his music player whatever that is supposed to mean? lol

Same here. My voip carrier send voicemails as GSM6.1/wav email attachments. My N1 cannot open play them. So I have no suggestions but would love to be able to play them on the phone.

I am looking for a way to fix this as well... but I have not had any luck finding anyone with a fix.
I suppose it is just not as important to very many people... but it sure would be nice to be able to listen to my voice mail I get in my inbox.
Hmmmmmm...
I seem to be able to play wav files in the CM music app, Rock Player, and PowerAMP. Suggest trying one of those...

I had the same problem until I upgraded to Gingerbread (using micromod777's ROM). Now all of my music has been recognized again.
So I have all of my music on my phone from my computer and it only plays the mp3. Most of my music is in Wma format. I've looked for music player apps on the marketplace but none of them are playing Wma. What do I do??

Convert your music to mp3.
How can I do that? Lol I'm a noob
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
just doing a market search on WMA shows me a few players claiming to support the format. If not just google WMA to MP3 convertor, I'm sure there are plenty of those available.
Try this. It's a good program and should do the job. It's called Audacity. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

google up rockbox player and download the already packaged size 480x800. its free opensource and yes it plays wma files. it even played the music from a youtube vid i downloaded so try that. hope this helps.
I see that the NOTE uses ogg files for the camera sounds, but the stock music player and winamp says the phone doesn't play them.
Glad that they will play FLAC but why no OGG? If someone can confirm a player that works, perferably free or not £3+ I'll be happy.
I can't get my head around why they won't play!
Thanks in Advance ppl!
Not sure about other ROM versions, but on my LQ2 the stock music player handles ogg files without problems

As a noob to Android as well as the Atrix HD, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether I have to convert the mp4 music file format iTunes uses to mp3 before I use Welcome Home to transfer the music. I'd like to do this in one swell foop if you know what I mean. I also have no idea if I can transfer the ring tones I made in iTunes to this phone and if so, how do I do it? My phone will arrive today and I'm so excited to finally leave Apple and the closed OS ecosystem.
Also if anyone has any tips early on, I'd love to hear them. ATT has some good tutorials and the Atrix manual seems good too.
Thanks.
Have you looked into doubletwist?

Download Google music on your computer and sync with iTunes and boom music.. I have 30gb of music without having one song on my phone
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
My laptop runs WinXP and I installed Music Manager and it seemed very buggy so I couldn't upload my iTunes. I also installed Double Twist and it easily imported my iTunes music but all the files show the lock (DRM). Are you saying that once Double Twist is installed on my phone that the Atrix running 4.0.4 will play the music without any problems? I was looking at the online manual for the phone and I see that Moto/ATT offer the Welcome Home apps for both PC and phone so that also may be the solution. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to convert the music files in iTunes from mp4 to mp3 so that they will play on the phone.. Any ideas?
Thanks folks.. much appreciated.

I'm currently runnuing MIUI Android GingerBread ROM 2.4.20 and I must say it's simply the best ROM I've ever used. It's almost as if it was built with me in mind.
Fast, stable, easy to use and on the eye interface. Brilliant.
I've installed and run the ICS version and as good as it is, there's one thing that's missing: What happened to the music player's ability to play WMA files? I have over 400 albums that I've encoded in WMA format due to small file size (1/5 of mp3 filesize) and I honestly cannot tell the difference between mp3 and wma over my headphones and in the car. Any ROM tips and/or advice on how to do this avoiding 3rd party app like TTPod? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mayby not the best solution but dude... WMA ? why WMA ? WINDOWS MEDIA AUDIO... WINDOWS... dude.. It's like making FLAC file from MP3, you CAN do it but WHY?!
I would go for MP3 using VBR which give you good quality and lower file size or lower the bitrate there is less problem with MP3 than with WMA. But it's your way to store music. And if you happy with that - thats great.
Did you try .. winamp for android ? --- oh, you didnt want 3rd party app...
Like I said, WMA was made by Microsoft which is close for community. So I doube there is a easy/clean way to play those files without 3rd party apps.
try other music player like winamph

Now your on ics, you can use the great apollo music player. Dont know for sure if it supports wma though.. but i gues it does. I'll post .apk file bellow.
This is stock music player from cm9. It is very good, downloads album covers by its self. It fully supports lockscreen control, notification bar control and widget control (apollo wodget that is )
Just give it a try, you wont regret it
P.s.1: sorry for bad english
P.s.2: hit thanks if i helped and apollo can play .wma files!
P.s.3: i'll upload file to 4shared, will post later this evening

Sometimes you have to wait 20 seconds, but ik hope that wont be a problem
Edit: just confirmed that when you download it via mobile, you will need to sign up. Via laptop browser is free and you dont need to sign up.

I dont get it, just because it isn't open source (why would you actually need open soucre music files....), they make a music player wich supports a lot of music types, but they dont let it play the world second-most used music file type... that sucks... but what can i do about it...
well there are other music players in the store wich are also awsome, like doubletwist player! I used it i while, before i got to apollo, i hop that solves your problem

Android and WMA
Thanks one and all for your advice.
As mentioned, my choosing WMA files is purely practical asI can store 4 times as many MP3's on my phone.
I had to settle for PowerAmp which not only supports WMA files but also seems to read all ID3 tags perfectly (on MIUI GB I had to download ID3Fixer to read artist tag).
I'm back with a quick update: Still no joy getting WMA files to play on stock music player on MIUI 2.8.10. I did flash King Soft 2.10.26 and though I did not find the ROM stable enough for me, the stock player did play WMA files (without ID3 Tagging as with older versions). I attempted copying the .apk into the .zip file before flashing but after flashing, Music doesn't appear as one of the applications. Apparently this may have to do with how system apk's are deeply embedded within the ROMS on JellyBean. If anyone has any advice in porting system app, (Specifically Music.apk) from JB to ICS, I'm all ears.
For those still interested, you'll be happy to know that the MIUI ROM 3.2.8 supports WMA playback. Kudos must go the the developers who knowingly/unknowingly fixed this issue. Unfortunately the issue of artist ID3 tags not being read persists but you can download the ID3Tag Fix app and it'll sort it out for you. I'm still using PowerAmp for this and my collection of now 4,500+ music files still fits comfortably on my 8GB memory card.
