Okay. I have 2 Lecrae Albums, and a CD of worship music, that I know of that are all .WMA. I've turned on the support for wma in AIMP3 preferences. And I have checked to see if the files are corrupt by playing them in VLC.
I don't think its a license issue, since 1, I legally own the Lecrae albums. And 2, the "Mike's Worship Music" music files, are literally just a CD full of Audio wma files created from recording the worship leader of our church do his epic thing with an acoustic guitar and deep soul voice. XD So no licenses are restricting that one. Which leaves me with the question, "Is it a codec issue?" There are other players, song bird, etc that cant play those wma files. Only VLC can it seems. Any advice or help? MP3 works great btw, this is wma-specific.
I'd wager the host PC isn't setup to properly play WMA files (aka, it's likely Windows XP with an outdated version of Windows Media Player). I believe both AIMP3 and Songbird use local components to play WMA files. VLC uses an internal decoder, so it doesn't have the same issue.
The solution is likely to upgrade the local PC's Windows Media Player to the latest. I'd upgrade IE as well. That will improve lots of apps even if you never fire up IE or WMP. And, if you are on XP, remember you have less than a year until it's abandoned.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I apologise. It never crossed my mind, that it was a WMP-specific issue. >.> My fault, I'm using Windows Server 2008. So that makes sense, I don't think there is even a download to get Windows Media Player for this OS, through the Add or Remove Snapins plugin, or as a patch. It makes so much more sense now. Thanks.
