Are there are issue playing WMA files through the 2004 Honda Element EX. I have read through some threads, and I am still a bit confused. My question is can you playback WMA file on an MP3 Player through the MP3 jack in a 2004 Element EX? Thanks for any help!

The "MP3" jack is acutally an AUX jack. Hell, you could hook an 8-track or a reel to reel to it. I am not an ipod fan but doesn't the ipod actually play aac files. Not MP3, WMA, OGG, etc.

most mp3 players support WMA and OGG and WAV except the ipod.

ipods play wav files, so long as they are not compressed.
from apple:
Learn the different song formats (CODECS) and sample rates that work with iPod.
Compatible CODECS
iPod can play songs encoded with these CODECS:
MP3 (from 32 Kbps to 320 Kbps)
MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)
AIFF *
WAV (with no compression)
The following require iPod software 1.3 or later:
M4A AAC *
M4P AAC (Protected) *
M4B AAC (iTunes Music Store Spoken Word files) *
The following require iPod software 2.2 or later or iPod mini 1.1 or later:
Apple Lossless Encoder
* Requires iTunes 4 or iTunes 4 for Windows. AAC files also require the most recent update to the iPod software.
Compatible sample rates
iPod can play songs with the these sample rates, and with all compatible CODECs:
8 kHz
11.025 kHz
16 kHz
22.050 kHz
32 kHz
44.1 kHz
Audible Spoken Word files
iPod Software 1.2 and later can play Audible spoken word files in formats 2, 3, and 4. These files have the filename extension, ".aa".
iTunes 4 and iTunes 4 for Windows work with Audible spoken word files.
Incompatible CODECS
iPod cannot play songs that use these audio formats:
snd
QuickTime
MP2
MP1
WAV with compression
WMA and WMA Protected
any other format not in the Compatible CODECS list
If you copy a song that uses one of the incompatible CODECS from your iTunes Library to iPod, you can select the song on iPod, but it will not play. Instead, iPod skips to the next song in the playlist.
Note: The iPod has upgradeable firmware that enables Apple to add more CODECS in the future, if necessary. You use the iPod Software Updater application to update iPod's firmware.

I thought that very few supported OGG. I guess that is changing.
