The mystery cda files are compact disc audio files, the same ones that are
on every shop bought "normal " cd we buy in the shops, they play in every
ordinary cd player in the car or home.
We've established your media player can convert wma files to cda as it
should. It should also be able to convert mp3 files to cda as well.
I'm not certain that it can convert the two different formats at the same
time from the same playlist. Can you burn mp3 files to cda on their own? If
you can there lies your problem, you will need to convert either one to the
same format so they are all the same. If you can't then you will need to
repair media player.
