Microsoft distributes WMV/WMA component for QuickTime
It's not often that Microsoft distributes third-party tools on its own web site, but it looks like they're making an exception for Flip4Mac, a
plugin for QuickTime Player that lets Mac users to watch WMV and listen to WMA files without downloading Windows Media
Player. It supports pretty much all the formats that WMP9 does, and since it's a QT plugin, it'll also let you watch
streaming Windows Media files inside Safari.[Via Digg]

This program sucks. It's like installing a little bit of windows hell in my oasis of OSX.

How can I play .wma files in iTunes on a PC.
That would be ideal

I think that is a really nice (and smart) move, its one less program to install and take up space, when most mac users wont be using the full WMP anyways.

This program crashes Firefox 1.5 running on OS X 10.4.4 also it never loads and plays any quicktime videos correctly. I dont know how this runs in Safari or opera since I disabled before I could even test it on these.
