WMA file type incompatibility

Go to solution Solved by dfsdfgfkjsefoiqzemnd,

Either get a different player as Huilun02 suggested (PowerAmp would be my first choice), or use fre:ac (http://www.freac.org/) to convert your files.  I haven't used fre:ac with .wma, but I've done several other conversions with it and never had any problems with album art and other metadata.  And it's free and open-source.

I recently swapped the last few months ago, and noticed I was listening to the same music over and over. Meant to check to see if I had the wrong file types, or forgot to transfer some other folders. 

 

Turns out the google pixel doesn't support wma, which is a large portion of my library. I tried using some random converter, but it was stripping all the extra info from them. Do any of you know an alternative routes I could take with this? Better Conversion programs? A different app (I use Shuttle+ right now) 

 

Thanks for reading.
