Dear Jean-Claude,
I'm more than happy to discuss the relationship between the Open Source
/Free Software movement and the Open Access movement with you, but I suspect
Stevan would object to our doing so on the AMSCI mailing list. In answer to
your specific question: if you want to access Windows Media Player files on
the Linux platform what you can do is try Mplayer, which can be downloaded
at:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/info.html.
Best wishes,
Richard Poynder

Thanks, Richard. I will try Mplayer.
And you are right: Stevan would not allow discussion on free software on
AmSci, but I would tend to agree with him on that point.
Thanks again.
Warm regards,
jc
