Is there a WMA compatable player for linux?

Does anyone know of a media player (preferrably with winamp-like feature) that is compatable with the WMA format?

I've got a few songs that I ripped in WMP9 a while ago, and I don't want to re-rip them... And I've got a few napster songs too...

I believe VLC Media Player will pay them too.

I tried to get XMMS to play WMA's, but it refused... is there a WMA plugin?

And i'll check out VLC.
