There is a chance that MPlayer for OSX http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/
will play your WMA files

I have tried playing iTunes music under Virtual PC once as an exercise,

the virtual machine.

I'd imagine Napster would be the same thing.

The problem with Napster is that it uses WMA format so I can't get it
on Mac. Is the sound okay at least?



You could get unprotected WMA files to play back in iTunes.  iTunes 4
provided limited support for WMA files, as long as they are not digital-
rights protected (that is, you bought them from an on-line music supplier).
But I suppose Napster don't do that kind of thing, do they?!

(Don't answer that: I'm not a Napster user!!!)  ':-)
