WMA is the Windows Media Audio format, which is a proprietary version of an MP3 file. The Zen Stone will play both formats. I use my Zen Stone with many MP3 files and they work great. The only problem I have run across is if the MP3 file is recorded using the Variable Bit Rate instead of the constant Bit Rate. If you try to fast forward while playing a VBR MP3 file, the player freaks out and sometimes locks up. Creative advised me to play only MP3 files recorded using CBR. John
