How to get the stock music player to play WMA files?
I'm using android 2.2 on a stock Nexus one (from the pre-developer phone stage). Should the music player be able to cope with WMAs? I'm sure I've seen references to it coping with them, but they are currently just dead weight on the SD card. I actually quite like the stock player so installing a new player is the fallb...

Google Drive directory syncronisation
Is there any software available to select one (or maybe more) directory on your Android device, and automatically sync it to a directory (collection) on Google Drive?
