As Winamp is definitely able to play WMA, I have 2 ideas about why your's aren't played:

1. Your WMAs are corrupted or have been encoded incorrectly.

2. You try to play back WMAs that are DRM protected, but your firewall blocks internet connections for Winamp and thus, the necessaray license cannot be issued.
