For MAC Users

How to Listen on a MAC

Our archives and live shows are broadcast in Windows Media Format. Since Macintosh does not include a Windows Media Player in their computers, you will need to download a free Windows Media Player from Microsoft (Click Here for OSX).

Difficulties in listening from Macs are common. In an ongoing effort to make our stream and archives available to more of our listeners, please feel free to research the issue and let us know anything that might help with accessibility at this Mac/Windows Media Discussion Group.

OR, you can get this:


Download the Flip4Mac Windows Media Component

OR:

You need at least a G3 with Mac OS X installed. You can find this info, as above, from the "About this Mac" item under the Apple menu.

In addition, you should have at least Windows Media Player 9 and a recent version of your preferred browser.

Recently Microsoft announced that it will no longer support Windows Media Player for the Mac. Windows Media Player 9 for Mac users is still available for download.

This version has been tested with our media on seven browsers available for the Mac, including Safari and Firefox.

Microsoft will not provide future updates or product support for Windows Media Player for the Mac. Alternatively you may choose to use the Flip4Mac program as recommended above for Intel Macs, but with the same limitations.
