Ijust wanted to know how i can play wma or wmv on quicktime or other app for mac os x. I also wanted to know you can stream from the internet for example a radio show which uses windows media player for streaming.

    ou can install windows media player for mac and it'll play all those things.



    there is also some software out there (name i can't remember) that allows all wma files to play through quicktime and so on an so forth with all the streaming of the video and watching of the media player filings and all that.



    just don't put it on the dock =)

    Yeah its called Flip4Mac WMV, it is not fully Intel compatible yet but I would keep an eye on it as they have stated that they are working on an update to come out soon.

    why not just drag windows media player into the applications folder until the day you can drag it out.

    this is a wma file converter that i used, it works flawlessly, almost as good as easyWMA, and it is FREE
