Play Windows Media files from within Mozilla?

[shipdadip]

I think the command to extract that file is bunzip or something.  Screw 
that though, get the RPM file.  RPM stands for Redhat Package Manager, but 
Mandrake uses RPM files too.  RPM files are preconigured/pre-compiled 
files and 1 command installs them.  So go to the site and get the file 
ending in RPM.
