Use wma media in linux

Although opensource products keep great value on their products still we have to have facilities to access windows products and their formats ssuch as NTFS,FAT 32 ,And wma. So ill show you how to use wma format with linux. hope this would be helpful for you.

First of all i must say this method is tested only in MPlayer . please be kind enough to post ur reviews ;

first of all you can download MPlayer by repo using

yum install mplayer

then continue with followings.

[kasun@localhost ~]$

just make temporary extraction .
[kasun@localhost ~]$ cd /tmp

[kasun@localhost ~]$ wget http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20071007.tar.bz2

[kasun@localhost ~]$ tar -jxvf all-20071007.tar.bz2

never extract files while ur as a rot user make that as best practice .coz Linux blindly believe super user and do what ever su asks him to do

then jump to root coz u cannot manipulate system directories while ur

logged as a normal user

[kasun@localhost ~]$su -

[root@localhost ~]# mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/codecs

[root@localhost ~]# cp all-20071007/* /usr/local/lib/codecs

[root@localhost ~]# rm -rf /tmp/all-20071007*
just insert these lines

[root@localhost ~]# ln -sf /usr/local/lib/codecs /usr/lib/codecs && ln -sf /usr/local/lib/codecs /usr/local/lib/win32 && ln -sf /usr/local/lib/codecs /usr/lib/win32
