A problem with loading music files to my mp-3... (by 3 users)

if the device does not support WMA files, you cant transfer WMA files to it.
the player does not convert WMA to MP3 by itself. I think there is a
powertoy that converts MP3 to WMA.. but i am unaware of a tool that does
WMA to MP3.

thanks

Hello I own a compaq PA-2 MP3-Player. I have converted audiofiles from CD-s
into wma-formats (which are supported by the PA-2). Always when I connect
the
player to the PC, then the PC is telling me that I have an unformated
Memory
in the player and if I want to format it. Which I then confirm to do so.
Although I do not have a chance to chose the kind of format (FAT16 or
FAT32.
Still after formating the memory, I still cannot copy the files on to the
player or the memory. (Error codes= 0xC00D117A, Condition= 0x00000000

The same with the Audio Files which I want to copy into MP3 Files instead
of
WMA Files. How can I change the Format of the files to be copied into the
Media Player?

Many thanks for your feedback on the above issues.

Best Regards
Pat

 The same with the AUDIO files, how can I tell the media player what format
he shall convert the audio files into?
