    Unable to access cbr extension files on Windows Media Player on Windows 10

    Hi Laurence,

    As you are facing issues with accessing the music files with CPR extension files in Windows Media Player, we will help you with this issue.

    I would like to inform that there might be a software update from the manufacturer that might have changed the settings to save the files as.

    I recommend you to change the file name extension from cpr to wma, try to access the file in Windows Media Player and check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps for Making File Extensions Visible and change the extensions:

    • Press Windows + E keys to open Windows Explorer.
    • Click the View tab,
    • In the View/hide section, check the File name extensions
      box.
    • Right click on the file with cpr extension, click on Rename
      and enter the name with .wma extension.
    • Click Ok.
    • Try to import the file on to Windows Media Player, access it and check if the issue persists.



    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of accessing the music files on Windows Media Player for further assistance.

    Thank you.

    Download WMA File to Windows Media Player.

    Unable to download a WMA File to Windows Media Player. WMP "HELP" is unable to offer any suggestion. I am trying to change a WMA file to MP3.

    I'm not too bright, but will appreciate any suggestions.

    WMA file extension in MEDIA PLAYER

    Windows Media Player and WMA files

    I have solved my own problem. For those who are/were experiencing the same problem:

    • WAV metadata can be changed through WMP. The changes to metadata is stored with the song and album art with the album directory containing the songs.
    • WMA metadata can also be changed through WMP. However, when I moved the files to another device, the album art did not show within my media player app.

    To associate album art with WMA albums, use following steps.

    1. Download art for album.
    2. Open art file in Paint.
    3. Resize to 75 x 75 pixels and save art as AlbumArtSmall.jpg.
    4. Resize to 200 x 200 pixels and save art as Folder.jpg.
    5. Move these two files to the album directory.

    This seems to work. Good luck.

    Matt
