Barcelona - Motorola announced on Monday that it plans to integrate Microsoft's Windows Media Audio (WMA) on a number of its music-playing cell phones.

Motorola said it will begin selling Windows Media-based music phones in the second half of 2006, and plans to enable over-the-air delivery in 2007.
