whistleblower Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I use Limewire to download music and i use Amarok on Linux. None of the wma/au files i download will play on Amarok. Is there a way to convert them??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimite Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) I am not sure what Linux you are using, but ffmpeg is the workhorse behind many of the windows free video and Audio conversion programs and is available here for Ununtu. I am sure there are other Linux versions available Edited November 12, 2009 by thaimite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgy88 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Before you start converting stuff that doesn't play, first get what you need to play it as it is. 1. Go to application>ubuntu software center (in 9.10) or add/remove (in 9.04) and do a search for ubuntu restricted extras. Install it if it is not installed. 2. Add Medibuntu to your respositories. Follow these instructions and you should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shriah Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) Get VLC player. If you want to play WMA in Amarok these packages sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2 If they are not available in the repository you have to medubuntu in the source list . Check this page on Mediubuntu Link sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list \ --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get -q update && sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get -q update Edited November 13, 2009 by shriah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
