Anyone got an idea, how I can get the *.wma file from pistonheads.fm to work on Linux?

well I use mplayer for wmv files, although Gnome usually moans that they're not wmv, and are asf format. can you not use xmms for the wma files?

Hobbit, I've tried xmms first, then Noatun (the KDE player), and then Kaffeine (a K-UI for Xine). Nothing

Inspired through Big Al's (and your ) post, I tried Xine with Win32 codecs and it worked (but they don't appear to work with wmv).

Thanks

Ted, did you have a look into Ogg Vorbis streaming? A free and open standard without being technologically underdeveloped www.doom9.org/index.html?/ogg.htm

To get a .wma to play on Linix.


1) Uninstall Linux.

2) Install Windows

3) commit suicide

Thanks for the offer Darren; it finally worked as you can see above

Re your other remark:
should I swap a 911 for an Allegro, just because I can't fit four 96 yr. old passengers for one drive at the same time into the 911?
