A search in the repo via synaptic reveals that xmms and xmms2 both provide wma decoding files.

As for the "lossless" language you used, I'm not knowledgeable of the significance of that.

I believe that you need to install amarok-xine. That's what Linux Mint uses.

If you use WMP to get those file I bet they are laden with DRM, blame the retailer for not making the product you buy platform independant.
