why the audio files, recognized as wm by real player, cant be played on my i-pod and my walkman phone?

wma is windows media file format (recognized by windows media player, real player, and any other generic player you can find almost), and IPods require mp3's to play.

I would suggest trying to upload these songs (find where they are saved on your computer) to ITunes (you don't need an account to do this), and if they are in the incorrect format to be playable on your IPod, they should automatically transfer them to mp3 format, and if not, they should prompt you to change it to the readable format. If not you can manually change the format.

your walkman phone, (I have no clue how picky it is), should be relatively easy to fix up with music. Plug it in to the compy, then open its music file on your computer alongside where you have your music saved, then just drag them from one folder to another.

If that doesn't work, give drop me a line and I'll see what I can do for you!

normally audio files or audio cds have their own format when burned. And this are recognizable by both walk man and car strereo even componentsor DVD players. If your burned it with win XP 2000, chances are you burned it in different file format like WMA, Try to check the settings of your windows media player if thats the one you used to burn the Audio CD. Set it to Audio CD. By default Windows media player burns audio cd in WMA format to get rid of this and burn ordinary audio CD's use other softwares like Nero Express it's a lot easier to use and user friendly. Or You can play trial and error with Windows media player if thats what you want to use just try all the file formats there which one works on your gadgets.
