WMA is an audio file format. Each WMA file stores audio track along with related metadata, such as track name, track number, author, music genre, etc. WMA files used Advanced System Format (ASF) encoding format, also use by WMV and ASF files.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the DAT file after converting to WMA may differ slightly from the original.

There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting DAT to WMA does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in DAT format, properly converted to a WMA file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file DAT the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of DAT file to other than WMA. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your DAT file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to WMA on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the DAT file in its original format (without conversion to WMA file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
