".WMA"

From Matt Bjorke, for About.com

Definition: This format for storing audio sound files came after .wav. It was designed by Microsoft to be used with their Windows Media Player. The WMA stands for "Windows Media Audio." This type of file has evolved to the point where they're encrypted with anti-copy tools so that unless the file is actually purchased legitimately, then it will only play on a computer not be burned to a disc (Napster uses these files).
