Getting music to play in openSUSE

First I installed the codecs from here but Amarok only seemed to play .mp3 and not .wma files even though part of what I installed was w32codec.
However, seems to be some problem with Amarok in KDE (and not in Gnome even though Amarok is a KDE app).
Mplayer plays .wma files but really Mplayer is crap compared to Amarok. Fine if you just want to play files individually but to play a complete album I haven't figured out yet.
