[MPlayer-users] problem playing wma

[David Wolfson]

Hi,

This is my first post to the list, but I've been searching through the 
archives and hope that someone will be able to help.

I've been using Linux for a couple of years now, and have finally gotten round 
to sorting out my music. Much of it is in wma format, and I'm hoping to using 
mplayer and lame to convert it to mp3s. The problem is that I can't get 
mplayer to play them in the first place.

I'm using mandrake10.1 community and have installed rpms for mplayer and 
win32-codecs. It works fine playing mp3, but when I try wma (that are ok in 
windows) I get the output below, and no sound. I'm guessing that its a codec 
problem, but have no idea how to sort it out. 

Any ideas please?

Thanks in advance,

Dave
