I think this a DRM issue. I have dozens of WMA files and they all work. However, I never drank the iTunes kool aid.

I have had the same problem. You have to take out the SD card and put it back in. then it works fine....however.....It continues to happen, and I am irritated that I keep having to do this. Hopefully there will be a fix, cause it has only happened since the upgrade.

Same issue

I have had a similar issue with my Gmail voicemail files. I posted a thread about my Vonage voicemail sending a .wav file to my gmail and now after 2.2 update my phone says it wont support that format. Had a response that said that it only supported some types of .wav files, we still don't understand that one!

Yeah I always get a copy of my voicemails through my Exchange account and they always played just fine until the update. What gives Google? Better Exchange incorporation, degraded audio file support?

why this?

This morning, my alarms goes off, at its normal time, but I get a beeping alarm, and not The Great Gig In The Sky, as its setup to play. I was curious, but forgot about it, until a friend at work asked about his alarm volume on his new Droid X, and said it was very low for an alarm. I then opened my alarm, and it was set to play the audio clip, but gave me that same error message! At least it substituted the beeping alarm, and didn't allow me to miss work!

I hope they rectify this issue. I will go back to 2.1 if I have to screw around to play music. I noticed this immediately after I downloaded 2.2, when the phone wouldn't play a .mpeg clip online, but I assumed it was corrupt or something. And, I had previously downloaded that clip before the ota 2.2 bricked my phone. I was able to play the clip on the phone, but only after downloading to my home computer and then to the phone. My alarm worked fine for over a week now after that, and just screwed up today... odd.

bricked

Bricked just means not much more use than a brick... when I received the ota update to 2.2, my phone locked up and I received a new phone. That's all.
