Are you *replacing* any .mp3s with .wmas? Or have you been experimenting with .wma at different bitrates?
I found that when I changed even just the bitrate (never mind the format) of tracks, then it was best to do a "forget everything" scan from scratch. I got behaviour rather like what you describe when I re-ripped some tracks to .wma at a higher bitrate, and either didn't bother rescanning, or didn't do a "forget and rescan". Apart from that (well, and that ReplayGain doesn't work for .wma), I've had no trouble with .wma files. (But I'm still switching over to .flac, having got fed up with lossy transcoding issues.) I've not tried ripping with Windows Media Player. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25739 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
