Sound Quality for WMA-to-MP3 Conversion

I play wma files with PowerAmp on my Nexus 7.

Glad to hear that wma transfer works for you. 
Are these wma files located on a PC ?
Please tell me step-by-step what you do to move them from PC to N7.
Thanks

@gp123, can you see the files on your PC from your Nexus via ES FILE EXPLORER?

If so, please can you play them directly from your PC?

Where are you in the world, and perhaps someone on these forums might live close.

One last suggestion, browse to your wma files on your computer and right click on one and then left click on properties and see if you have a license tab. If you have the license tab then your wma has DRM (Digital Rights Management) and that would be your issue with them playing on your Nexus 7.

To All:
Thanks for the help.
Much appreciated.

@gp123 - did you get it sorted ?

[gp123]

CBers - Thanks for your continued interest.

Have not had a chance to try latest proposal of copying (wma) files to a folder already in N7, rather than transferring an entire (wma) music folder from my PC.  I'll get back to this soon.

In the interim I've had no trouble copying a folder of mp3 files to N7 "Music", so that's what I'm using with MusicPro - my preferred player.

I have yet to connect my Nexus 7 to a PC, but have used Dropbox to transfer files.

As suggested, I added a folder under N7 "Music" using ES File Explorer.  Then I copied mp3 files into it. Folder was recognized by Music Player Pro resident on N7 and music played fine.  I next removed the mp3 files and replaced them with wma files.  Folder was no longer recognized by the Music Pro Player.

I've given up on the wma thing.  Easier (and less frustrating) to simply convert wma stuff  to mp3

To answer the original question of this post === my aging ears cannot tell the difference between wma-64, mp3-128 and mp3-64.  So I guess I'll recode to mp3-64 and save myself some memory space.

Use WMA Music Player Pro.  It plays that format well, and the app is free also.

I am using Music Player Pro.  Great music  player -- do you use DSP plug-in with it for music effects?. 

Still  cannot get Player to play wma format -- only plays mp3 .  (See my prior post on this)

Please tell me in step-by-step detail how you move a wma music file into N7

Thanks
