Its very frustrating. |

I also just upgraded to Tiger. I downloaded the Windows Media Player (which
the webscreen states was last updated 9/1/05). However, after I hit the
Download button and checked the Info for the application, it says this
version was last updated Oct. 2003. Anyway, I'm trying to get live streaming
on XM Radio and the audio doesn't work. XM Radio advised me to download that
application in addition to Macromedia Flash 7. I did all that and restarted,
but it still doesn't work. Could the problem be the software being
downloaded is not the latest version???

Nope. The latest version *is* 9.0 and there has been no update since
then.

Ditto. Ditto. Ditto. However, the version available for download states it
was last updated in October 2003. But then on another webscreen, it states
that this version of WMP for Mac OS X was last updated on Sept. 1, 2005.

Reading the complaints about MAC OS and WMP, I wonder if they are not
compatable.
It's a possibility. It depends mostly on the codec and DRM. What does
the warning say exactly ?

You can't trust these dates. Look at the version number.

It’s too late for me to check because now it’s working, but in case i
helps, this is what I did. Some of these may be unnecessary or jus
plain stupid, but I can’t tell now. All I know is I did all of it an
now it works.
Delete the following:
Windows Media Player folder (probably in Applications)
~/Library/Preferences/Windows Media Player Prefs
~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.mediaplayer.plist (I think, o
something like that—like I said, I already deleted it all)
Anything else you can find in Preferences folders that looks related t
WMP.
Reinstall WMP. I was shocked when it worked, I thought it was som
inherent incompatibility
