Hi all

Bit of a beginner here but I have just started to get some vinyl converted into WAV files which play fine in WMP 11.The problem is, I cant permanently put them into WMP, when I try to drag and drop them or sync them into the player nothing happens, no errors, just nothing?Is it better to convert them into MP3's, any ideas much appreciated.

It's best to use a media player that is not WMP.
WMP has lots of nice features designed specifically to lock you in to exclusively using Microsoft product$.

There are many media players that are much better than WMP. I particularly like Foobar2000 and VLC, both of which are free. If you want a heavier program that has comprehensive library management, have a look at MediaMonkey.

Other free options include WinAmp, iTunes, and dozens of others.

If you insist on sticking with WMP, make sure that you export as 16bit WAV and not 32bit WAV.

Thanks very much for your reply.Very helpful.
