WMA lossless files are not supported. The unit will not play files which include digital rights management (DRM) protection.
When burning CD-R and CD-RW discs with audio files, various problems may arise which could lead to problems with playback. Typically such problems are caused by poor CD writing or audio encoding software, or by the hardware settings of the
PC’s CD writer, or by the CD being used. Should such problems arise, contact the customer services of your CD writer or software manufacturer or look in their
product documentation for relevant information. When you are making audio CDs, take care to observe all legal guidelines and ensure that the copyright of
third parties is not infringed.
