Windows Player

I have everything I need installed installed except a player for the windows files. I have tried to install mplayer, but I couldn't figure it out. I have xine and downloaded the windows codecs from mplayerhq and stuck them in the /usr/lib/win32 folder like I have read you should but still doesn't work. Right now I don't care what plays it. I'll take instructions to get any program to play them. Kaffeine, Xine, Mplayer I don't care. I have a Suse 10. Thank for your help.

If you mean .wma files ... forget it.

You need to install the package called win32-codecs or w32codecs. It varies depending on your distro. I wrote a walkthrough on doing it in Mandriva, maybe some of the package names carry over for you. Here's the topic with the walkthrough I wrote
