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

I have no idea, but I'd like to think that Microsoft's own freely
downloadable Windows Media Player could play WMA files ... then again,
it IS Microsoft we're talking about, so their own software playing
their own format IS highly unlikely.  ;o)

And there is always Windows Media Player for the Mac. 


Rats! I did mean the Mac OS X version ... how did I manage to leave
that vital piece out.  :o(

Helpful Harry Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o)

I have a tendency to try and forget things MS since I made the switch to Mac almost two years ago. :-)
