Play the problem track for a few minutes then send in a diagnostic. Contact Sonos support with the diagnostic number and let them look at your internal data to see if they cn find the issue.

Make sure the WMA files have a bitrate no higher than 320kbps and a sample rate no higher than 48kHz.

Try rebooting your phone and the device where your music library is stored. Also try updating your music library in the Sonos app.
