I just purchased this player... it works fine, but I have put two different 64gb cards in the player and it does not seem to read the music. What type of formatting is required to match the player?

Hi,I wouldn't give up because it won't play WMA audio books as there are a lot of free programs available on the web that will convert WMA to MP3. It is an easy process and can be done in the background while you are working on other projects on the computer.ITunes and Windows Media Player will convert the files as well.There are lots of places on the net where you can download MP3 audiobooks without charge. Check out Librivox.org, gutenberg.org, and archive.org for free audiobooks.

WMA must be converted to MP3. iTunes automatically does this for you. For this product however you will have to use a 3rd party program. There are many free programs to do this, even some free websites. Which ever method you choose, make sure you select the max grade for mp3 of 320kbps for best quality.

The specifications list MP3 and WMA compatibility. Due to the age difference between WAV and WMA, there is also a major difference between the number of devices that are able to play files that are encoded each format. WMA is only supported by more recent devices, including music players. WAV is very simple and almost all devices that are able to play sound are also able to play WAV files. Applications use WAV to ensure that it is able to play the sounds as WAV is often the greatest common denominator between operating systems when it comes to playing sound.I have used the device to play WAV files and it had worked for me.

It works when it wants to even when setup properly. Running Win 8.1 you have to manually select the audio configuration of each device, and set this one as the default for audio input and output when you want to use it. However, it still doesn't always work or doesn't switch back to my amp when I want to use my surround sound afterwards.

Hi, this MP3, only take mp3 format, if you downloaded music from itunes make sure it is mp3 format only, once downloaded to your computer, then plug your mp3 into the usb of your pc, then drag and drop your music. I also had problems with this item, but I figure it out and finally made it work. Hope this help. thanks for asking

I am happy with the M260. I use mine for audio books from Audible.com and also for music. I do have 1 concern. I have 3 CD's that I put together myself with Windows Media Player and transfered to the M260. These 3 do not show up when I use windows explorer or windows media player. They only show up on the M260. What gives?

There so many different file types. Most music is in Mp3 format- Yes it does support them; there are Wavs, which are sound clips- Yes it does support them; There are WMAs (as mentioned below) it plays them. There are movies; they are avi's and mp4's- Yes it supports them (And more). But you must first download them to your computer, then you can transfer them to your player, I have found very few files it won't play.

I used to convert all my .wma files to .mp3 using Windows Media Player. Apparently, the Microsoft gods have now eliminated that feature. I do own NERO 12 but I'm a novice NERO user. I did a little research (before writing this response) using GOOGLE and NERO 12 is indeed supposed to be able to do this conversion, according to some users. I would suggest you ask someone with more experience. I bought NERO because I used to use a stripped down version of ROXIO. Recently, I had to reload my WINDOWS 7 OS and all of a sudden ROXIO would not work with the reinstalled WINDOWS 7. Hmmm? Go figure. That's why I went to NERO. Still learning NERO. Sorry can't be of more help. As an aside, these media packages (ROXIO and NERO, and others) have gotten too "bloated". They try to do too much. Users get lost easily. We just want the basic stuff, done cheaply. I'll climb down from my soap box now.
