It would be great if apple could develop a wma player that handled
wma encrypted content. The problem is that Microsoft owns the
technology, and doesn't license such technology to other companies.
If you want to play encrypted wma files, you *have* to use
microsoft's wma player. This means windows media player.
Unfortunately, the version they no longer make for the mac does not
support their latest encryption. This means, if a company uses that
encryption, you just plain *can't* listen to it on a mac no matter
what you do. This is unacceptable to me. I've already complained to
the company that makes the recordings, but they can't do anything
aboout it. Their solution is to purchase the mp3 cds which cost more
than twice the price of the wma files. This too is unacceptable. If
you have another suggestion, or another company that makes a wma
player, then by all means, send it along. I'd be glad to give it a try.

Hi everybody,
Regarding Microsoft not upgrading windows media player for the mac,
wouldn't it be better if each company developed their own
resources? In this way, we wouldn't have to worry about cross
platform, and Apple would be able to give us the mbest
accessibility possible in their products.
Thanks.
