Default unsupported format

I need help - what to do if Player says cannot play the file it is
unsopported. But it is the same kind as the other files running by the
Player.

The file extension may deceive. The contents of the file may be other
than indicated by the extension .. particularly if you d/loaded it from
some random place or from a peer-to-peer network.

See if Quicktime or Real Player can open it - it may be one of their
formats.

Thanks for your advice. The file is an original wma file. Older ones I can
open and play.
