Lovers of digital music, which can be listened to on a computer, modern player or mobile gadget, often come across files with the .wma extension. A file with a WMA file extension is a Windows Media Audio file. Microsoft created this format to compete with MP3 and is often used for music storage and online streaming. A WMA file contains an audio recording or music composition in a format developed by Microsoft. The file stores the track and the metadata describing it: track title, artist name, album name and music genre. Most often, the abbreviation WMA refers to the WMA Standard codec - it was originally developed as a competitor to MP3.

The WMA format is known for its bugs. If, for some reason, some part of the .WMA file is damaged, then listening to the file becomes problematic, both a couple of tens of seconds before the place of damage, and after.
