canadianteddybare4u,

To make WMP your default player for your music files:
Open the folder with your songs outside of LW. An easy way to do that is to go to the library page in LW, hi-lite the audio folder then click the explore button (below the library folders window).

Then right click on one of your files > then click on "Properties" > then where it says "opens with" click on "Change". A box will open, click on "Windows Media Player" then click OK. Then click apply then OK. That should change the files back to WMP.

N9UNQ,

You can filter out .wma files from LW by going to Tools>Options>Filters>Keywords, then add .wma to the list and it will filter them from your search results.

Possibly spam. The question is whether they are playable. As 6_Pac points out, WMA files have licensing issues which may prevent them being copied or burnt, etc. & there's also other safety issues with WMA files you need to be aware of.
