Playing 'wma's

[aRKaiNe]

I got sick and tired of windows media player and everything about it, so now it's all gone thanks to XPLite. Now...my problem is that I can't play Windows Media Player files with out it installed (wma, wmv...).

Note: wmp 6.4 , 7, 9...ALL GONE.

So I'm wondering if there is any way that I can install the codecs I need without having WMP around (I know I could just install it again but I'd like it to stay gone). For example, is there a site out there that has such a package of them...?

Thanks to all in advance .

winamp plays wma files, or you could try Media Player Classic you may need to install Microsoft Windows Media Format Redistribution Pack before playing asf, wmv, wma files.

download it from:

actually after I unistalled WMP and all, Winamp complained about DRMClien.dll, but i solved that. In 'Plugins'>>'Input' in Winamp it said "codec not detected" for some "in_something-or-other.dll" or something like that, and i just removed it.

Media Player Classic and BSPlayer don't play any WMP files now, btw.

ALSO: When I installed the Mega Codec Pack, it complained about msdmo.dll and wouldn't installl without it, so I ran downstairs to my family computer on WinXP as well, copied the dll to a floppy, popped it into my system32 folder, and the Mega Pack install fine.

I'm going to try those suggestions now. I'll see if it'll work.

Thanks!
