Brain fart - the trailing "$" anchors the string so that it's the end.  IOW:

\.wma  will match "foo.wma" and "bar.wmaybe" as well, BUT
\.wma$ will match "foo.wma" but NOT "bar.maybe", because it's anchored.

See this is what a second shiraz will do to your brain when consumed
10minutes after the first! :P
