I was wondering how to get Windows Media Player on the mac? I guess the current version for mac is not supported on Intel MAC's . Any alternatives?

It's in beta. It was leaked a couple of weeks ago but they closed all of their sources.
this kinda relates to the topic, but how would i get Windows Media Player off of my mac? Whenever i put it into the trash and attempt to empty it, it tells me that part of Windows Media Player is locked...
im pretty sure that dragging a windows media file into iTunes converts it to AAC if it's audio or MP4 if it's video. if this is too much of a hassle, vnc may work.powerbuddy said:I was wondering how to get Windows Media Player on the mac?

I zapped Windows Media Player, but all it did was put it in the Trash, and when i went to empty it, it still wouldn't empty. Also, my Windows Media player doesn't function at all. It always quits before anything opens. What do i do?
Nevermind, i found dropnuke which erased it. Thanks for your help!

Dude, use Flip4Mac. It's very handy. Although not all windows media files work on it. I have found some internet streams just turn up errors...
It's a quicktime plug in that makes it possible for you to play the windows media movie files. Yes you'll be able to see them in a safari window.

If files are locked, hold down option when selecting "Empty Trash." Or, go to the terminal and type "sudo rm -rf" and drag the file into the terminal window. Be careful when using that command. You could potentially delete all of your data.
