Nissan Frontier 6-CD changer won't play WMA files...Please help?

I recently purchased a Nissan Frontier 2011 SV with premium utility package. The 6-CD changer won't play WMA files. It plays MP3 and WAV files just fine but won't play WMA. Nissan claims it plays MP3/WMA. I tried burn the WMA on different brands of cds and tried a few softwares and still no luck. I brought my truck to the dealership and they couldn't figure it out. They even tried my WMA cds on another 6-CD changer and still wouldn't play. I called the 800-NISSAN1 hotline and they are no help at all. One of the rep said the 6-CD on my truck has the WMA playback capability but Nissan did not program it to play. That's the most ridiculous explanation I even heard. Does anyone have the same problem on their Nissan car or truck? I don't want to convert all my WMA files into MP3. I have hundreds of them. Thanks for the help in advance.

    Your owners manual says it should play MP-3, WMA files in Section 4 page 30 and 31 Have you tired to change the display mode and scroll Thurfiles on the CD? It may take a Nissan District Service specialist to get to the bottom of your problem. Or it could be how your files were formatted originally that could be causing a read error.

    I would use Satellite receiver, Ipod adapter or a MP-3 Hard disk drive. I do understand burning all those files again to mp3 CD.

    Actually, I can believe the rep's statement, ridiculous as it is; I have a cell phone which, as supplied by the factory, can play both MP3s and WMAs, but which my particular service provider has crippled by requiring ringtones be in WMA format. Since Nissan doesn't actually make CD changers, I would not be surprised to hear that they'd spec'ed it that way from their supplier.

    (I have an Infiniti, but it's too old to play even MP3s.)

    particular. besides the certainty that now it is over six hundred million money. If a squirrel is keen to place down some money for some tickets, then the squirrel would desire to have an equivalent shot on the jackpot. trouble-free is trouble-free.

    Use an iPod and give up on that antique CD player.
