Bookmark topic
Does anyone know how to get the p990 to play WMA files? My whole music collection is in this format so I am a little miffed that the phone cannot play these files.

You can't.
Most none Windows devices won't as the manufacturer would have to pay a licence fee to Microsoft which is also the reason software developers don't add compatibility either.
Don't think any Symbian device has ever played wma files.

My W950i plays WMA happily (much better than it does realmedia!)

Sorry I can't help with onboard WMA playing but I do know that there are music management programs which will automatically transcode files as it transfers them to the device (or memory stick).
I use Amarok (on linux) and have set it to transcode to ogg at medium-quality when transferring to the P910. All of my CDs are stored as high-bitrate mp3s which I don't need just for headphone use, and I only have a 1gb MS. It happily does wma since there are wma codecs for linux.
As for programs to run on windows - maybe itunes, musicmatch jukebox, something like that.
