Playing WMA with player other than Win Media Player

I like to paly music on the Axim in the WMA format as it seems to be the smallist file size with ok sound to it. My problem is that Win Media Player on the Pocket Pc sucks big time. I dislike using it because it never will play the tracks in an order I want. it almost plays them backwards. I have a terible time oginizing the tracks correctly to the point that it isnt worth bothering with.

I do also have the microsoft Media Digital edition which has a nice PPC player on it called Sync & Go. I like it fro small downloadable videos from who else, MSNBC news. but I can allso sync music. it does this rather well except that you can not assign a button to shut the screen off like you can in media player. so What I have been doing is play the music thru this Sync and go and then start media player so I can then toggle the screen off. Now this is ok but it really is way to many steps.

So I guess what I am looking for is a player that will play WMA that is a full fetured player with the ability to screen toggle.
all I find are MP3 plaers and they just do not work with WMA. any ideas? is there a utility that can always screen togle to a hot button.

I want to say the newest version of Pocketmusic plays WMA. Can't recall off the top of my head though.

Yes, the latest version of PocketMusic Full (19.95) does support WMA files.
