A good thing is also to install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras It will install a lot more, than just codecs for wma files. But you shouldn't have any problems with media files after the installation. |

Fairly sure it's in one of the 'restricted' packages. Try adding:
One of those should handle WMA, I believe. |

What do you mean by "free"? open-source? or simply usable without paying anything? I doubt there are open-source codecs for wma, but I think you can install them as part of ubuntu-restricted-extras. At least after installing vlc and all it's dependencies banshee can play wma files. |

You can use VLC media player. It's an open source project, plus it has loads of features. |

Running 10.04.3, i386 version on AMD Phenom. Installed the following packages: ubuntu-restricted-extras, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse, vlc. DRM-free wma lossless files still won't play in either Banshee or VLC :-/ |
