However, there are numerous apps that will allow iPhones to load and play WMA files.

I guess I could reverse it and say, would it be so difficult for Microsoft to provide for android users to be able to send and receive using Messages protocol (end to end encrypted text messaging for Apple users.) Apple can send and receive SMS texts, but Andriod can't send Apple Message protocol.

It is what it is. Standardization is a wonderful thing, but tech companies while claiming they support it, seem to always have difficulty with the idea.

I do see that Apple is opening up Facetime (Apple proprietary thing like Zoom) to Windows users. That is a BIG deal. Face time is so much better than Zoom.
Do you know of an app that will allow you to load and play 13,000 songs? The ones I have seen will do a file conversion from WMA to AAC or MP3, but you need to do it one file at a time, and it won't sort them into music albums. Converting 13,000 files would take forever.
