Because Windows Live Messenger truncates nicknames in pop-ups for "XXX has just signed in." and can't show colors in nicknames properly because of incompleted BBCodes, I disabled it to pop-up from WLM Options, and created a new Event Notification for Sign-in, and wanted to assign the old sound "online.wma". But I couldn't select it from inside the MSN Messenger folder, because it didn't list any sound in the "Select a sound" window. I typed the exact name 'online.wma' and wanted to preview it but it said me "Messenger Plus! can't play this sound format". However I set it like that and when someone came Online, Messenger Plus! played the sound so in fact it supports .wma format. Important note: I have disabled also "Contact Online" sound inside WLM's Options. So lets add .wma format to the drop-down menu.

Just noticed...

.wma is not supported when creating New Emotion Sound, however it is supported as an Event Notification Sound.

EDIT:

Just noticed...

The .wma sound files are played only for 10 seconds, neither less nor more, i.e., you can't set any different duration for any .wma sound. You should also show a pop-up for the event for .wma sound to be played, I don't know why but thus. And the sound is played as long as pop-up is there, when pop-up disappears, sound stops. For example if you mouse over the pop-up, sound will play to the very end of the file.

EDIT2: Just found another limitation. If your status is Busy, even if you checked the option in Preferences for playing sounds when Busy, .wma sounds won't play!
