Playing .wma files

In the past .wma files created with the sound recorder could simply be
played.
After presumabley some clever updates by Microsoft, .wma files can no longer
be played.
How can I get .wma files to play again?

Re: Playing .wma files

Try Windows Media Player - they are Windows Media Audio (WMA) files.....at
least that's what I interpret "wma" to stand for.
