How to Make WMA Files Compatible with Android Devices?

Windows Media Audio (WMA for short) is a new audio format introduced by Microsoft, which is as famous as the MP3 format. However, WMA surpasses MP3 in both compression ratio and sound quality, producing better sound quality even at lower sampling frequencies. Therefore, there are more and more audio files with WMA extension. If you play WMA files on a Windows computer, this shouldn’t be a problem for you.
