You might want to give WMP 10 a try as well... You might have success cracking the WGA check (several search results contain intructions), but it is probably not legal and therefore not recommended. The codec package from Microsoft might enable an older WMP version to play the new files. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=06fcaab7-dcc9-466b-b0c4-04db144bb601&DisplayLang=en Other versions: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/format/codecdownload.aspx > It asks for windows genuine verification. Anybody can help? I have wine 1.1.12. > If you actually own a Windows (which is probably a requirement to legally use WMP), you might want to try running it under Virtualbox... It is a slower, less elegant, more expensive solution, but it works for some things that Wine cannot do / do yet... (Still testing applications under Wine is still recommended though, since it shortcomings must be know before it can be fixed..) Gert
