Normally, rhythmbox should try to start the package manager in order to add support for APE, WMA files.

You can try to play individual sample files with the Movie Player (Totem) and check if it attempts to download the support packages from the Internet. There is support for those files in GStreamer (the multimedia framework).

Can you help with this problem?
