Can I transfer DRM WMA files directly to Android?

Let’s first look at what audio formats does android devices support:

Audio formats: AAC, AAC+, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, FLAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, MIDI

Obviously Android does not support WMA files, to play DRM WMA files on Android, you should firstly remove the DRM and convert WMA format to MP3 or WMA to AAC that Android supports.

And to convert WMA to MP3 or AAC, you need an wma to mp3 converter, I recommend you Noteburner audio converter, which can not only remove the DRM from iTunes m4p music and convert m4p to mp3 for most media devices, but also can convert wma to mp3, wma to aac for your Android device. And here below is the step by step tutorial to put WMA songs to Android device:

2. Browse to choose a file folder for storing the converted songs.

Step 4. Edit a WMA songs playlist for burning to MP3

You can choose an already existing WMP playlist, or create a new playlist for burning to MP3.

Tips: Since NoteBurner utilizes virtual CD burning mechanism to convert audio files, it’s suggested that one playlist shall contain no more than 74 minutes music, that’s approximately 650 MB files, the standard capacity of Compact Disc. If the playlist contains more than 74 minutes, the converted audio tracks might be divided into two or more vitual discs, depending on the number of the songs you add to the playlist.

Step 5. Click Start Burn button to burn the WMA playlist

Click on the Start Burn button to start burning the playlist. All the songs in the playlist will be converted to target format during the virtual burning process.
