Most of this has to do with the file format being closed and proprietary. In fact, the ONLY reason this application is needed is to play more recent windows media files. Try it on the other side.Įven if MS COULD make a good version of WMP, there wouldn't be very many third party plug-ins in the Mac world because it is largely redundant. Any argument about the status as a political item and one of platform morals is only entertained by the extremely ignorant. On terminal life-support with no chance of recovery except in it's other life on the integrated windows platform. music with harshly worded threats by microsoft attached. Surely this could not have to do with the fairplay DRM crushing protected. Want to author MS content, convert or manage some DRM? Not happening on a Mac. They aren't there for WMP, QuickTime 7.0.3 is mostly transparent and those jobs are taken by applications like iTunes. If you want a hundred plugins and different ways to manage your media on a mac forget it. This may be because the Application has not only been updated, but received an iron lung.namely a new version number 10, although I suspect Microsoft of misplacing a period somewhere in there. The WMP XPerience on a windows machine is extremely different than that on a Mac.

WMP (remember this is theoretically a separate application from windows because making a product with a similar name for the mac proves that fact) could be eloquently described as a full featured rich media abstraction layer and user interface with complete platform independence.if it was Apple's QuickTime.
It is rather unfortunate for 'AppleMacIntosh' (pronounced as one word), but fully understandable since WMP (pronounced wimp) has been in need of an organ transplant since it's birth. After a two year hiatus, Microsoft's 'Windows Media Player ' is.well still on hiatus and threatening coma.
