For all of you Windows to Mac converts who are missing Windows Media, player here’s something you may be pleased to know. Windows Media Player 9 has been tested and proved fully functional in Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard).
You can download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac from Microsoft’s download site, however if you do so you will also need to download ‘Stuffit‘ as the download is an SITX archive file.
If you would rather just download the installer and not mess around downloading Stuffit, check out the link in my Downloads section.
However, this is a fairly minimalistic version of Windows Media Player, in that you don’t get any of the library functionality which you find in the Windows version. In fact, all you do actually get is a small video playback window with fairly limited menu options.
I suppose it’s still handy if you use webbed media sources that only provide Windows Media Player compatible links. Or if you really do miss the Windows logo that much..
