Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows of a .WMA file player for Ubuntu? I mean I don't want to convert all my music because that would take alot of space, and I want to keep that for other things, so anyone know of a free one?
I have tried VLC but it doesn't work....I have tried Kaffine and Aarmok(sp) but it doesn't work, and all is clear in the mounting
ty for your help or suggestions

See if you can't find a Win32 codeic plugin for Xine, if your media player uses Xine. That way you will be able to play all windows and mac audio and video files with Xine media engine.

One other thing you can do if you really want a different audio player for that is you can give mp3-2-1 a try, it is a small command line media play made to play mp3's but it may be able to play wma's.

Ok there are few ways but the easyest is you unpack with adept/Synaptic "automatix". But I think you should first read about it on ubuntu and google.
I hope I helped a little. than yust install with that special programs that you need. Ouu yea do not use automatix for EVERY instalation because it doesnt have everything it just has some programs that windows users want in there linux.

Support for WMA and other formats has been bundled into the w32codecs package. This package is not available from the Ubuntu repositories or supported by Ubuntu, due to licensing and legal restrictions. You can download the package by the way of wget.
wget -c http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20061022-0.0_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20061022-0.0_i386.deb
Copy and past the two commands into a terminal window.
Could I ask why VLC dident work for you?

I wonder if it was just a problem with the version you were using.

Might of been but the last time I did (still a long time ago) It would make my WM (desktop icons ect) go blank untill you selected an Icon but that was a long time ago maybe when i had openSUSE 10.2 on my system
