got an mps player, have downloadedwma files - they won't play

[sickandtired]

help me before I smash it to bits

mp3 player is what I meant

oh i dont knwo
if you dwonload t o our pc it wont plya on my mp3 player

what mp3 do you have?

I can see the fucking things on there, (the mps player, but they won't play?? How else would you download it if not to the pc (i am crap at technology)

just a cheapee, packard bell audio key

If you have just downloaded them to the computer you will need to then transfer them onto the mp3 player with some of them.

I have mananged to get them on the mp3 player, it says that they are wma but it just won't play, its a whole album and I can see each of the songs

yes mine too with a few traks
dh says we ahve to dwonload them ont he the mp3 player when its int eh pc

Aaahh ha you have the same one as me and I just mastered it yesterday.

Plug the key in and then go into your my music bit on the pc, where you will obviously see all the music/files you have downloaded. Now on my pc I just click on the tab at the top that says burn/transfer it will open another window and then you can drag the songs you want over (or sychnorise to transfer all data) and it should all appear on your mp3

so you can see them on the mp3 player or on your pc

but i did that - I can see the files on the damn thing, but they won't play - is it cos they are WMA

I'm really not sure, I'm sorry all I did yesterday was transfer music from my CD's onto it.

I remember having the same problem with mine months ago.
I'm buggered if I can remember what I did though.
Will think and get back if I can remember.

when I go in to my music on the pc they are not there, but when i search they are in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Albums

where can I find windows explorer on XP?

Click on start and then all programns

can only see msn explorer?

I am about to waste £70 quid that I spent 2 hours ago when i smash thing thing to F88King bits

Can't you save them as mp3 files on your pc 1st and then copy them to your mp3 player. I don't have one but I guess they're called mp3 players because they play mp3 files, not wma files.

I had this exact problem. apparently you can buy software to convert the files from WMA to MP3. very annoying I think that it is delibrate so that once you buy the song you cant copy it to CD
