WMA Player FAQ
How do I play a WMA file in my browser?
Drag your WMA file onto the player or click to upload. When your browser can decode WMA, playback starts right away; when it cannot, the page says so and links to a converter.
Will playing WMA reduce its quality further?
No. Playback only decodes the existing WMA stream; it never re-encodes, so no additional lossy generation loss is introduced by listening.
Does the player show WMA bitrate and metadata?
No. The player plays the WMA but does not show its bitrate or tags.
Why does my WMA file sound slightly different from the original master?
WMA is lossy: the encoder discarded inaudible (and some audible) data to shrink the file. The player faithfully reproduces what the WMA encoder kept — it cannot restore discarded detail.
Can I play a WMA file gaplessly in a playlist?
Queue several WMA files and they play back to back. Note that lossy formats like WMA can introduce small encoder-padding gaps that aren't present in lossless sources.
Is my WMA file uploaded to your servers?
No. Your WMA file is decoded locally in your browser and is never sent to a server.
Does the WMA player work on phones?
It works in mobile and desktop browsers that can decode WMA. Where a browser cannot, the page says so and links to a converter.
Can I adjust playback speed for a WMA file?
The player has no playback speed control of its own. Your WMA file is never changed.
What bitrate should my WMA files be for good quality?
For music, WMA around 192-256 kbps is a good balance; speech sits comfortably at 96-128 kbps. The player happily decodes any valid WMA bitrate.
My WMA file won't play — what's wrong?
Confirm the file is a real WMA stream and not just renamed. Corrupt headers are the usual cause; re-export the WMA and try again.
Do I need an account to use the WMA player?
No account, no install, no watermark. The WMA player is free and works immediately.
Can I convert WMA to another format here?
Yes. After previewing, use our converter to turn WMA into MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, and more without leaving the site.
