Wrong file types there. An avi file is a video file interwoven with sound while wma files are the format for Windows audio files. Microsoft originally intended to have the wma format in order to compete with mp3s. A full description can read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Audio

The details on avi files are seen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Video_Interleave

Default avi to wma

avi is a format for video, wma is a format for audio, if you want to convert avi to wma, you need a software. I know a software named AVI MPEG WMV RM to MP3 Converter which is a powerful tool to convert all video and audio files to MP3, WAV, WMA and OGG formats.

The only way to convert avi files into mp3s, wavs, wma files, or some other audio format is to first extract the audio portion. These file types are strictly audio. With a program that converst avi files it would separate the two into two separate files like those seen when going to burn an MPEG II file onto a dvd-r. The program then breaks the single into different segments for burn to disk. Your player then adds those collectively when going to process them.
