No More WMP for Mac OS X?
Wednesday, January 11th
It appears that Microsoft has decided to distribute Flip4Mac in place of their own Windows Media Player for Macintosh. Flip4Mac has been superior to WMP for Mac in most ways anyway, so it is nice that Microsoft is now giving it away for free through an agreement with the developer. It seems that it does have trouble with the internet radio stations I have tried though (RadioU, Cross Rhythms).

Or you could use VLC ( http://www.videolan.org/ ) on pretty much any platform including BeOS for the true Steve Jobs zealots.

I should have mentioned VLC in my original post, although the Windows Media video is a bit choppy on my (old) Macs. It does work well for streaming audio though! I’m not sure what Steve has to do with BeOS. He founded NeXT (since bought by Apple) and Pixar.

Hm… BeOS != NeXTSTEP… Well it also runs on QNX for all those… um… QNX zealots? I give up … I’ll go away now…
