Windows Media file extensions

Managed to recover 20 or so deleted music files but WMP doesn't recognize the format. They appear to be .wma format. The error message is "0xC00D1199: Cannot play the file". I'm using WMP 9 Series. What to do?

If files don't open they are corrupted beyond use.

What to do?

bin it.

Edit:

Your topic title very much contradicts what you've written in the post. What exactly can't WMP play is it MP3's or WMA's? I ask because your topic title has "WMP can't play recovered MP3 files" then in your post you typed in "They appear to be .wma format."

You can Google "WMA repair" although I've never used any such tools and can't recommend any. There should also be MP3 repair tools.
