I use portable players for my audio books that I get in either Mp3 or WMA format. I borrow from WI Public Lib Consortium. Will this play WMA files?

I can't say if it does or not, My son uses it only for music and we haven't tried to do anything else with it.

Yes it'll play them as long as you sync it with the windows media player on your pc

My WMA files do not play on this device, it actually freezes it. I believe it only plays MP3 format.

The manual says this device supports .wma. However when i tried it it didn't recognize the file. Cheap and made in China what do you expect, go figure. I am however very happy with this device. Why not just convert your wma file to mp3? Try Format factory.

David, you don't need to convert your audio library (well, unless it's in the PROPRIETARY WMA format). As long as you have MP3 files, they'll play on any iPod just fine without conversion.In terms of having to convert movies to MP4, I agree that it's a pain, but most portable video players will require you to do this anyway, because of size and processing power requirements. You might as well convert to MP4, which is a certainly not a proprietary format. It's an open format supported on a huge variety of devices and operating systems. That includes DVD players, network players, portable media players, freeware applications (VLC) and more. Looks to me like you need to check your information a little better.

Maybe! You need to know what format your audiobook is in. A true audiobook will have an extension of ".m4b" which I have not tested. This is a special "flavor" of the mpeg-4 standard. It has samples of James Patterson's books, which are in the mp3 format that it will play. So if your audiobook is in the mp3 format it will play. It does also play e-books, which are not the same thing.

Yes, it will play .wav files from either the internal storage or the microsd card.

The readme file isn't clear (at least to me) that this is about building on the fly playlists with just the mp3 player. The way I read it this is about building playlists without using WMP on your computer and then transferring them to the player...am I missing something?

I'm not sure, but I was able to put .wav files on it and it plays them fine. The manufacturer might be able to tell you. According to the instructions, it does not play .wav - but it does!

What format are your files in? If MP3 then there will be zero problem. I have all of my MP3's on an external hard drive as well & all of my tag info was kept intact when I imported the tracks into iTunes. If the format is WMA then iTunes will want to convert the files into a format that the iPod will play. Tags will likely remain intact but the files will be changed I believe.

I AM SHOCKED! No one has mentioned WMA format.The player's limit is 320kpbs with any format, and 64kbps on WMA is around the same quality as 320k on MP3, especially using earphones. I have converted 320k mp3 files into 64k wma files without noticing a difference. It's a shame if you put MP3s into this player.

Perhaps this should be a new thread, but you specified "library". I want to be able to download boks from NetLibrary (available thru various public library websites. The file format does not run on iPod (I am told), only on certain players that handle WMA Secured files (the "license" expires, and they cannot be burned to CD, but can be downloaded to MP3 players. This is my only reason for getting an MP3. Several Creative products (including the Mosaic) have been tested and are supposed to work, along with the SanDisk Fuze model. I would appreciate any feedback specifically on this usage. Also, I cannot find anything in the on-line manuals about the "bookmarking" feature. I believe the intent is that I can read Book #1, get to a stopping point, mark it, then go on to another book (or opera, or whatever), and bookmark that as well, part way through). I have had bad experience trying to get phone feedback from Creative in the past, and store salesmen don't know anything. Does anyone have actual experience with this? Thanks.

Music player: Plays your favorite music content from nearly every source (MP3, WMA, secure WMA, Ogg Vorbis, Flac), AAC (DRM-free iTunes). I use WMA and MP3. I've never used MP4, so I don't know. MP3 and WMA can use the drag/drop feature to load selections from computer, or copy/paste. WMA has a better music quality if you have a musician ear. You can download the manual from SanDisk and check the specs, which is what I did. It's a simple player, but does all I want it to.

Yes, but only for MP3 audiobooks. It doesn't work for WMA audiobooks. For MP3s it works very well. When you download them, make sure the download file is "Audiobooks". If the book lands in "Music", it may pause between the sections of the book. Not a serious problem, but occasionally annoying. I download audiobooks from my library, and most of those are WMA, so I returned my Clip Sport and purchased a Clip+, which takes both types.

I have some FLAC files on my computer and my WFT-1 connects to it via WiFi -- I just tried to play them on it, but it doesn't even see them (but it sees all the others, both MP3 and MP4 and WAV) -- so it certainly can't play the FLAC files.

It will only play mp3. I had to convert all my wma files to mp3. I was unaware of this at the time of purchase.

According to the user manual, yes: Music enjoyment, support playing such music formats as MP3/WMA/WAV/OGG/AAC/FLAC/ALAC/APE"

I've used it to play audiobooks borrowed from the library using the Overdrive application: https://www.overdrive.com/Only works on the mp3 books and you have to use the application to loads them onto the player.
