Re: adventures with windows media

[Travis Siegel]

Windows media player isn't necessary.  Throw it away, and go get flip  
for mac.  It will do the same job, and with considerably less fuss.
The only reason I wanted windows media player was to play encrypted  
content, but it can't/won't do the latest encryption, and nobody is  
selling the earlier ones, because they've been broken.  So, encrypted  
wmv files are out.  With that *major* annoyance, windows media is not  
worth the hasle it takes to get it installed.  Flip for mac plays  
everything the silly media player will handle, and as I said, it's  
much easier to install.

Btw, I had sighted site help to install my copy of windows media, and  
it still took several tries, so don't feel bad you couldn't do it  
first try alone.
