Solved: Samsung Music won't play WMA/WMV? - Samsung Community

StephenB222 · ‎01-30-2021

After transferring all my audio from the S9+ into S21+ 256gb, Samsung Music will not play any of my WMA files, ripped at 192kbps. Am I missing something, as they played perfectly on the S9+?

According to our service operation policy, Audio and video codecs for WMA/ WMV format aren't supported on Samsung Mobile phones or Samsung Music. However, you can download a 3rd party application that does support the WMA/WMV format from the google play store. Give this link a try for more information on compatible file types: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001308/

Yeah, none of the supplied music players seem to handle WMAs.

I read the stock music player is going to YouTube. Maybe we have to make playlist there? idk what happens with the old ones tho...is there like a grace PD or no updates?

Response from Samsung that they are noting this as an issue, and are investigating for a fix.
