Make Windows Media files play on an Intel Mac
Authored by: brothma on Mar 16, '06 12:29:18AM

For those of you who listen to rhapsody, xmradio, or dc101 (basically music services that use window media player as their interface) this is the ONLY WAY you will be able to hear them on an Intel mac. The Windows media player plugin does not work properly through rosetta.

I do not know if it works in Sirius, but I had the same error as the other services before loading the new flip4mac and assume that it should work for this service as well.

I have not tested with safari yet, but firefox works great, and the streaming loads faster than my other macs.

Thanks for the tip. I have been going nuts trying to find a fix so I can listen to all my music on my cool new MacBook Pro.

Does anyone have any idea if this works for playing movies available on demand from services like Cinema Now (http://www.cinemanow.com/) or Movielink(http://www.movielink.com)? It'd be cool to have access to on demand movies on my mac based home theater rig.
