Help How do I play a .wav file in the Music Player?

This phone is a 9/10 for me so far, and the only thing frustrating me is music playback.

Problem 1) Where's the music widget? I had to download this (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.demboos.galaxy.music.widget&feature=search_result) which worked perfectly, but why wouldn't something like that come stock??

Problem 2) "Music Player" does not recognize .wav files, which sucks, because I have tons of albums ripped in wav's on my 32gb mSDHC card!!

Aside from these problems, the "Music Player" itself provides excellent audio playback and the interfaces is FAST, sexy, and functional.

But how do I get it to play .wav files!? I really don't want to pick up another player like PowerAmp because I've tried it among others, and I never like 'em.
 
So this is strange... If I go to "My Files" and then to "/mnt/sdcard/Music" I can view all 110 of my albums by folder name... and I can go into those with .wav's and play them with "Sound Player"...

"Sound Player" and "Music Player" look so similar to me, but apparently they're different?
