We were overjoyed when we found out that you can simply drag a folder of
mp3s into your WM server and that it will automatically stream out the files.

Unfortunately, it's not working on the mac. The latest mac version (9.0.0
(3307) ) gives an error "The playlist format is unrecognized." Additionally, if
you try to right click/save as on the link, the browser will not download the
..asf file that will be downloaded on a windows machine.

So I'm not sure if this is really a mac problem, or a server problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

THat's really weird... You should be at least able to save the .asf file
to the disk. Did you try from another browser ??

It's probably a bug in WMP.
