A problem with loading music files to my mp-3 player

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?

Anyone found a solution? I also have the same problem with my compaq ipaq
pa-2 player. Don't know what to do..

And by the way. Do you know if it's possible to change my MMC for bigger one?
Like 512mb or something? Do you have experiences with it?

I just bought a 512 mb MMC few months back. I haven't experience any
problem with it yet ... i've only filled 180 mb so far.. so i wouldn't
know if it will have any problem after 256 or watsoever mb. Media
player reports 130 mb free  though ... weird. :P

I only had problems with formating the MMC at the first few times ...
but after some trick ... it works like great. I donno what i did ...
but it just works after that.

I am having the same problem. I have tried contacting Compaq. They are
clueless. Have you found a resolution? Please let me know. Thanks

Go to Downloads.com and download "FreeRip" it rips song off of CD's and saves them to your computer as MP3's, then you can put them on your MP3 Player. There is a WMA to MP3 converter out there but I don't know the name of it.

Just one thing dont try regcure it dosent work at all
