That's right, no chance to listen to WMA without it being converted I'm afraid.
Unfortunately that's the drawback to having music (or any files for that matter) stored in a proprietary Microsoft only format.
It's best to stick to an open audio standard such as MP3 or AAC (better quality).

.m4a is the file extension that AAC encoded files use. If you rip CDs to AAC format with iTunes the files will have an .m4a extension and the K750 and W800 can both play iTunes encoded files (but not music purchased from the iTunes Music Store, as that has DRM protection added).

Why use WMA anyway?
AAC is much better quality at smaller file size. |

doming is right, wma was just made to more easily srew people with DRM.
AAC+ is the best, as far as I know, the most efficient one - small and excellent quality. All the music in my K750 is AAC, ripped from CD's.
OGG is very good too. |
