How do I un-neuter XMMS?

The subject says it: just installed and ran XMMS, and when
I try to play my .wma music files, I get some lame message
that support for that file type has been removed due to some
legal trouble with Microslop.
I'm thinking that there must be some simple way to restore
this functionality. Hoping so anyway. Sorry if this has
been asked a million times.
Any ideas?

Not M$, just the mp3 patent holders.

It has. Google "xmms-mp3" is your friend.

OK, installed the package (got it from FreshRPMs) and no
luck, unless I'm missing something obvious. Again, I'm
looking to play .WMA files, not just MP3's. I know this
must be possible, since Mplayer has no trouble playing them.
While Mplayer is a great video player, it's not so swift
with music, as it does not handle playlists, as far as I can
tell.
Still looking,

I don't think xmms or rhythmbox do .wma or .asf for those I use MPlayer
with windows media player codecs. If you dl the gz files make sure you dl
the codecs. It might be a bit of work. I have better performance using
the 0.92 version than the 0.93 version. There are rpms for MPlayer as
well. http://www.mplayerhq.hu
