What file do I want to play music on my S22? I transferred all music from my S20 and now nothing plays.

Yes. Samsung phones no longer play WMA files to save space.

At higher bit rates they are smaller.

"For example, at 192 Kbit/s, a WMA file is 10.4MB, while an MP3 file is 7.2MB."

You could use another music player from the Play Store that supports more file types. Musicolet is what I use currently, or there are other great options available. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet
