Can WP8 finally play WAV files via music player?

Unfortunately, 995 of corporate phone systems that integrate with Exchange mail system attached voice mails as wav files.

WAV is a common lossless format with no processing overhead. It's ridiculous to not support it on a mobile platform, especially one that deals with voice communications (in which wav is frequently used).

Given that WP supports ZERO lossless formats, wav would be welcome even for music, since mp3 and the like are quite grating on an audiophile's ears.

MS does not allow other programs to handle WAV files like they do for some other file types so no third party software can correct this problem. At MS's pace we can expect a fix in WP11.

WP8 supports WMA Lossless. That's what I use.

MS told me wav support is coming in the next update that should drop this month.

I thought it might but never tried. If you look at the list of officially supported formats, wma lossless isn't listed. I'll try it sometime later. What do you use to convert to that?

Starting from GDR2 update, you are now able to play wav files.

I thought so too. As soon as I got gdr2 on my 920, I ripped a cd to my laptop in .wav, moved it to my 920, but it didn'play. So back to wma lossless.

I'm pretty sure I was able to play a wav file, but it isn't supported for ringtones.
