[WINE] How to install Windows Media Player 11 in openSUSE ??

English Applications
#1

I want to install my favorite player WMP11 in Linux, but the Setup fails in validation >:(>:( !!!

I’m confused :’(
i there a possible to force install wmp11 with wine in linux ??

I have a lot of music in WAV + tagged with RIFF Tags, wmp can read riff tags…

Amarok can’t!

is there another player that can read RIFF Tags from WAV files??? :\

Use Linux and Linux Players or Windows and Windows Players.

All other approaches are crappy by default. It will not work properly.

I also do not think using wine and wmp 11 is a suitable way.
Take a look at wavpack it should contain tools to handle riff.

look here to see what others experienced WineHQ - Windows Media Player

re validation see WineHQ Bugzilla – Bug 10219 – Windows Media Player 11 setup fails

I don’t even have any I can try
But you realize you locked yourself in to that setup when you chose to use it, or Microsoft lead you that way… I wonder why?

I’ll have a go at playing one if you email a tune to me. I’ll PM a email to you

I found a .wav online
It plays fine

As for the riff tags - no idea

It seems that lame can convert riff/wav: I would give it a try and then your files can be played on every platform without wmp 11
Found this here but cannot test since I have no riff files:
