I recently had my computer completely freeze up. I talked to 3 tech support departments (HP, BB and CompUSA) and all they offered to do was change me for something I could do myself.....reset to my factory defaults.
I reset, and I have managed to do more than those places promised....I saved most of my data. I have had to reinstall most of my programs, but overall I am pretty happy with how it went, considering how bad it could have beenm.
But I just went to go play some of my music, and it is now being read as a W4A file rather than another format. These are CD's I have bought and payed for, not downloaded music, and windows media player had played them just fine before.
I don't know if it is a codec issue or what. Any ideas? Not all my music is affected....some are still MP3's, and WMP reads them fine.
VLM reads them, so I can still listen to them, but I don't recall converting anything in the past....
What type of player uses W4A, and how can I make it work at this point?

Unprotected songs bought from iTunes are in w4a format. IIRC you can rename them to *.mp4 and they will still work properly.

I'll try that tomorrow...but I didn't buy them on iTunes. Perhaps they were encoded when I tried using some of the audio software I experimented with last year.
