Hey Guys

A silly question but can domestic CD players play WMA files, I know that most can play MP3s, as well as normal CDA files, but I was unaware that Microsoft had licensed (free or otherwise) WMA to manufacturers of CD players.

However, saying all that, I am surprised that scootertrash believes he can readily play WMA files without being able to play MP3 files as well, after all MP3, as a standard file, has been around a lot longer than WMA.

The only reason I think ST wants WMA files is because they are smaller than MP3s, typically a 3MB MP3 would take up lass than 1.5MB as a WMA file, and so he can get more songs on a single CD.
