    I think there are music players for Linux that do support those formats. MPlayer appears to be an example.

    Ummm ... if there is a converter that runs in Linux, then there is a player too, and you don't need to convert.

    munna_dude, your not going to find something as simple as you expect. You might have to write your own converter, using other libraries/codecs to read wmv, avi and rm formats. (or read them yourself).

    I suggest you reanalyze your situation
