Mediaplayer that plays WMA files in Linux

[morpheus83]

I have a lot of WMA files is there a Mediaplayer which plays WMA audio files?

XMMS has a plugin for playing wma files, and mplayer can play them using the win32codec. Your specific Linux distribution should have instructions on adding support for .wma files.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

foreach my $file (@ARGV) {
next if ($file!~ /\.wma$/i);
my $base = $file; $base =~ s/\.wma$//i;
system "mplayer \"$file\" -ao pcm -aofile \"$base.wav\"";
system "oggenc \"$base.wav\" ";
unlink("$base.wav");
print "$base.wma converted to ogg.\n";
}

:-)

Can't take credit for this one I'm afraid, just Googled wma2ogg!
