Default G1 won't recognise WMA ID3 tags!

so figured it out- neither tunewiki nor music will read the id3 tags from WMA files-

problem is most of my music has been ripped to WMA format due to it being smaller than MP3-

So i have 3 options:

1. convert the WMA files to OGG format

2. rerip all the albums to OGG

3. find a decent player that recognises WMA ID3 tags

any help with any of these would be much appreciated.
thanks

Looks like it's time to rerip.

As much as I say go open source, why not rerip in MP3? Granted it may be a somewhat aging codec (and patent-encumbered), but it's a de-facto standard that is guaranteed to work on almost any device that plays digital music.
