Windows Media Player can play MP3s

You shouldn't have a problem playing MP3s

If you would like a stable, fun and advanced MP3 player - visit http://www.winamp.com - use Winamp. It plays MP3 WMA AVI and streams popular shows and tutorials for sites such as Deviantart.

It's safe and secure, it'll also be set as your Limewire's player (when you execute the file insted of preview)

Have fun!

I burned some MP3 files to a CD for my wife with no problems using my Windows Media. It was the same as burning WMA files.

If you need to burn to CD (Burn MP3 or WMA) use Windows Media Player

You can download windows media player 10 (I think) at http://www.microsoft.com (Clickly) and click "burn files to cd" prepare a playlist and it'll do the work and change the files into the correct format.

OR check if your truck's CD player can play MP3 CDs becuase if it can you can put lots of music onto one CD and listen to them

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.

My wife's CD player will play a CD burned with WMA files (from Walmart.com). We've never had any problems.

I assume newer ones will, seeing as WMA is a common extention now... older ones however... I doubt it
