did it work for audiobooks using WMA format?

Hello, I did not try it specifically for audio books. It should work any mp3 or wma file.

I don't know about the audio WMA format... mine were MP3. I did how ever play wma for music... so I would say , yes...

Do not buy these. They are a big waste of money. Spend a little more money and get a good product.

The manual says this device supports .wma. However when i tried it it didn't recognize the file. Cheap and made in China what do you expect, go figure. I am however very happy with this device. Why not just convert your wma file to mp3? Try Format factory.

I don't use mine for audio books but my husband does and he says yes...it does. Please note though....he uses his primarily for audio books and the unit died after about 6 months of use. I have the same player in a different color and only use mine for work outs and mine is still working. I don't know if it was because you have it on such a long time when you are listening to audio books versus music or not.

Thru tips learned here, I finally figured out the "secret." Hours of frustrating reading and trial runs later: WMA Audiobooks are not compatible with the Micro SD -- MP3 format only -- transferring from Overdrive is done outside of the Sansa Clip, direct to the Micro card -- insert the Micro (in its carrying sleeve) into the computer slot; when it is recognized by Overdrive, transfer as usual, listen by inserting the Micro into the Sansa Clip. MP3 format is a drag -- takes twice as much space as WMA, but seems to be the only game in town.

Yes, according to the manual. I never used it but the manual says it supports MP3, WMA AAC, FLAC and WAV. It does not support files encoded using WMA lossless, WMA voice, WMA 10 Professional nor files of any format which have DRM protection. Nice radio...

YES, it does play wma files. All my music files are wma -- I downloaded the CDs I had on my computer which still runs windows XP.

I AM SHOCKED! No one has mentioned WMA format.The player's limit is 320kpbs with any format, and 64kbps on WMA is around the same quality as 320k on MP3, especially using earphones. I have converted 320k mp3 files into 64k wma files without noticing a difference. It's a shame if you put MP3s into this player.

No it doesn't "work very well with the WMA format." The DRM type WMA format won't play on this device.

I took a quick look at the Audible site. I could be wrong because I don't know much about Audible, but it looks like you need an app to play the Audible books. So, I would agree that the answer is probably "no." This device plays mp3s and WAV files, and I think a few other formats.

Yes it does work with that file format. However I do NOT recommend this product, way too many bugs!

I don't like the proprietary software, so I use Windows media player, but as far as I know the software is the same that comes with all their products. Since I primarily play audiobooks, I also use Audible and Overdrive. As it happens, the Clip Sport would not allow the transfer of books I had bought from Audiobookstanddl.com, so I returned it and bought a Clip Zip. As to drag and drop, I've not been as happy with it, as it generally doesn't transfer any extra album info cleanly, but it does work.

Haven't used it with AudioBooks, but there is an option under Music for "Audio Book". I upgraded my firmware to 2.01US, so you may have to upgrade your firmware if the option isn't there.

I had the same problem. I know Coby mp3 players play the wma format, but I don't know about any others.

I had the same problem of not having USB as a menu selection and Wal-Mart WMA's not syncing to the sansa c250. I ran the updater from the Sansa Website, did the hold/left arrow reboot as shown in another post here, and here's the kicker, I had to reformat the c250, thus losing my stored items. It was easy enough, though time consuming to reload everything and I was able to sync the Wal-Mart WMA's. It took me a long time to find this out after a lot of internet surfing and I hope it helps everyone who is not seeing USB on their menu.
