I know that microsoft has stopped supporting the mac wmp, how does flip4mac match up? Does it do EVERYTHING that wmp does?

The reason I ask is the radio station I listen to is 610wip.com via wmp, does this work on the new intel imac? I am currently using a pc, so I can't test it out..

I have flip4mac and I listen to WIP (my favorite radio station) all the time on my PowerBook. I can't say that it works on the Intel Macs, but I would guess it does.

I haven't been able to use Flip4Mac to listen to online radio stations. I've had to use WMP to listen to KFI640. I've read that Windows Media Player runs just fine via Rosetta.

WMP is still the only app that will work for me on an asf file radio feed.

I have Flip4Mac installed but it just chokes on it, as does VLC and the Finder.
