Yeah, I already had them installed so it looks like they don't 'do' wma...

You prompted me to search the repository though, and I came across a 
couple of other likely-looking plugins (one called 'soundconverter'...), 
which I've installed and Banshee is now converting the wma files to 
something the iPod likes.

So something fixed it lol
