Then I copied a couple WMA albums to a NTFS drive.
These are albums he ripped using Windows Media Player.
Try as I might, I couldn't get them to play under Linux. As
Julien suggested, I tried downloading codecs from the
mplayer site, deliberately specifying which codecs to use,
and playing with ffplay (ffmpeg).
why ffplay? why not mplayer?
Does someone know ways people work with or around

We don't have much of a budget for repairs.
can't you post somewhere one of those files so that we can
try to play them? Or just a few seconds if you can, I think
it's more or less legal. Or send a link to me by private email.
Always a pleasure to help someone digging for, well, freedom.
