I Googled 'wma player intel mac 10.5'
downloaded and installed
www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
which claims to ""play Windows Media files (.wma and .wmv)
directly in QuickTime Player and view Windows Media content
on the Internet using a Web browser."  Now when I go to the
URL, instead of getting an error message, it just says
Stopped
on the status line.

I tried downloading it ; Flip4Mac opened it but wouldn't play it.
I give up.  I don't have time for this.  I remember seeing WMA
to MP3 converters somewhere.  Maybe someday I'll think to
try it (it costs money (!), but it makes more sense to me to
make the file available as an MP3 to begin with so everybody can
play it without conversion.

Live long and prosper,
Kennita
