I. Am. Going. Crazy.

Is there actually a list of music formats the N7 supports? I just had a look over the Play and Nexus support sites, and if they have a list, it's well hidden. A Google search just throws up sites shilling conversion software. I know previous Nexus devices haven't supported WMA (a shame, because that's what most of my music is ripped in - IMO it's got better sound quality than other formats except something like FLAC), but what else will it accept? OGG? No list anywhere that I can see.

Supported filetypes - Google Play Help

Found int he google play help section. It shows WMA as supported, so I'd say it's because it's DRM'd somehow.

Your link is to the Google Play uploader, not supported filetypes for the Nexus devices. In the case of WMA files at are uploaded to Play, they're actually transcoded to mp3s before transmission using the codecs that are built into Windows. But that's not really relevant to the question of what the Nexus devices, and 7 specifically, support.

My mistake, I'm sorry. I misinterpreted something somewhere. >_< That happens when I'm only running on a few hours of sleep. Lol.

This is the only thing that EVER works for me. Rebooting the device and any of the Media Scanner did absolutely nothing for me, the only thing that will force the device to recognize the mp3 files is to literally move the files from one location to another, it's a real pain in the ***, I don't know why this is happening (I used to have an HTC, never had this happened before), I hope the Nexus 7 team are working on a solution for this.
