We can't support this because Android devices don't support WMA file format

Is there a way to make the server transcode before transferring for download?

No I put in an issue to better handle these errors in the client before coming out of beta https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/968

We get these a lot and some of them (like this one) can be prevented because we know WMA is not supported on Android so we could show an alert when initially downloading.

This would need to be implemented on the server side first.
