Mac Users: Mac OS-X and Media Player
 

Can you play this ?

If so how ? If not what error are you presented with ?

Cannot play back the file. The format is invalid.

If you're trying to guess whether the drm stuff works on mac you can save yourself some time... it doesnt... only cause windows media 9 isnt the current mac player.

I have no trouble listening to the live streams such as those on d-money. It's just the archived stuff that wont work.

It really annoys me when people use proprietary rather than open formats for streaming. What's wrong with mp3 ?

Realplayer and Media Player both fuck me off :ak47:

agreed. use mp3 for the archives.

it really annoys me when people knowingly buy a platform that makes up 2% of the market and then complains when not everything works on it. :)

more annoying, is those (most) who buy the same piece of shit as everyone else, then complain that not everything works on it. lol

Linux, Mac OS-X, Free BSD, etc would be much more than 2% combined, all viable operating systems and probably much more productive in the right hands than any Windows box..

I know I try to make my sites and content viewable on as many platforms as possible.. it just seems to make sense.

touché.

You need Windows Media Player for Mac.

You need Windows Media Player for Mac.
Correct

Macs kick arse!

I have it. Still doesn't work.

Yeah stuff encoded for Windows Media 9 doesn't work on the mac right now even with Windows Media Player since as someone mentioned 9 isn't available for mac yet, since Microsuck is such fucking shitty company with software releases.

Open standards are the way to go but so many PC users lack the intelligence to understand anything other than what Microsuck force feeds them on their PC's that they bought for $500 at wal mart that they put shit in WMV instead of mpeg and better yet mov or audio in mp3 instead of fucking wma.
