Does this play WMP playlists?

It should do so without any problem. I have transferred tons of music from my computer (from my favorite CDs) to my Coby as well as music from online outlets (like Amazon & Itunes)

Yes! Before I download any music into my computer, I select the mp3 format in Windows Media Player. Then I download whole albums into my computer. Then I plug the mp3 player into the usb slot, move whole albums or songs from here and there to make compilations into the playlist section and then sync it into the mp3 player. It is quite simple with this mp3 player. I am a senior citizen that is electronic illiterate and I can do it so it should be a snap for younger people! Hope that helps!!

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

No. Or at least not easily. You can use the free foobar2000 (for Windows) or the £14.99 Dipper for Mac OSX to do it. This has been a bit of a disappointment for me, especially as "Playlists" appear in the X5's menu system

Hi Phil It works with wmp, but not with iTunes in the same way. You could make and name a folder on the desktop, then drag a playlist into the folder then copy it to the Cowon, but dropping it into the cowon's music folder. Incidently the Cowon recognises 64gig SD cards and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't recognise the new 128gb micro sd cards

Yes, it will play music files (mp3, wma, etc.) on a usb drive and it works with file folders on the drive. You can even use it to charge.

I've not tried playing FLAC or WAV files with it but i know WMA files are incompatible.

Matthew, Yes it does, I have used it only to download music using my Windows Player. But understand this, I only use this device for listening purposes only.

I personally stay as far away from WMP's music management even since I got my ZVM. It has a habit of wanting to take too much control over my music and how I have everything set, even with the options disallow it to do anything and I don't like that, I had spend several days fixing my ID3 infomation that WMP got either wrong or just plain screwed up and deleting pointless album art files (album art info can be saved to the MP3's ID3 tags) and after using WMP for something that had nothing to do with music it started to go through and screw some of them up, luckly I noticed quickly before it "fixed" it all. I personally use Media Monkey Gold and it has worked very well for me. You can also use Winamp which is still a rather good music playing program.

I don't really know. I was so disappointed that it wouldn't play WMA books (which is my major use of the device) that I put it on the shelf and purchased a more expensive SanDisk 4GB clip zip player which plays WMA, MP3, and other formats. I've had generally good experience with SanDisk; so I coughed up a few more dollars. I really was disappointed in the Electrohome player.

It will only play mp3. I had to convert all my wma files to mp3. I was unaware of this at the time of purchase.

It plays WMA which stands for windows media audio. I am not sure if windows downloaded music is .WMA format or not. Sorry if this is not very helpful.

This device will play music from anything that is connected to it via the input jack. It does not care about the size or type of player that is connected. As far as playing WMA files, I'm not certain but I think it will play them. You can get a free WMA to MP3 converter at www.Cnet/downloads if you need one. There is an instructional video for this player here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mZ7Krt2Mp4 .

The player will play WAV files, however, it most likely will not play the newer WMA lossless files. Note that WAV files are already "lossless" unlike the MP3 format.
