Re: App for playing .wmv files?

Flip4Mac allows you to use Quicktime to play .wmv and .wma files - I've found that it works well. You can download and get more info from versiontracker.com

I'm not a Mac-person, but I'd like to help out a friend who is. He's looking for an app that will play .wmv files on his Mac. The free Winamp is great with wmv on Windows. Is there something like that for the Mac.?


There is a Windows Media Player application for the Mac. MS just
announced they've stopped updating it, but it still works fine for now. There is also a plug-in that will let the built-in Quicktime player
software handle these files, and Microsoft has purchased a license that
will let Mac users use the plug-in for free now.

Your friend can get both products here:
