Subject: WMA files

I've copied all of music files from my Windows machine to /var/music.
Music Player (Rhythmbox) finds and plays the MP3 files, but seems to
ignore the WMA files. Is there an addin/plugin for it that will let it
read/play/catalog the WMA files?
 
 Just install xmms and xmms-wma packages...

 One other way is also to: 
 - install mplayer with ffmpeg lib
 - install xmms
 - install xmms mplayer plugin for use with wma and other prop. formats
 
 
 Cheers,

Would converting the WMA files to mp3 or ogg be an option? How would
that affect sound quality?

As I understand it wma basically cuts out all the high and low sounds. Converting that into mp3 or ogg would suffer even greater loss in bass and pitch...

I guess that if it really has to be done you could but then would be left with something that couldn't be played at any reasonably loud level (forget about party music).

That said it could still be useful for mp3 players and alike.
