Windows Media Player 9 Series for Mac OS X: Coming
A previous mailing list email hinted that Windows Media Player 9 was being developed for Mac OS X, with a demo shown at WWDC.
One reader points out that Microsoft's Windows Media Player for Mac OS X page now reflects that WMP 9 will be coming soon for OS X:
- Coming Soon! Windows Media Player 9 Series for Mac OS X will deliver compatibility with 9 Series audio and video content.
The current version of WMP for OS X is 7.1. Version 9 should bring the Mac version up-to-date with the current PC version of WMP.

Nutzoids, zer0army, as much as you may not like it, it is important that WMP9 does come out for Mac as soon as possible as there is a growing amount of WMP9 only media out there on the web, video streams, audio streams etc.

Thank god! VLC and MPlayer are fabulous, but there are still codecs out there that demand WMP9...

I will stick with VLC thank you.
As mentioned above, VLC does not support WMP9. Despite the knee-jerk reactions above... this is a Good Thing.

We need it.
I just can't wait to see how it clumsily integrates DRM. Microsoft does not, never has, and never well "get it".
Unless the "it" is money.

Thank god, I prefer quicktime player (pro), it even plays my divxes after installing the codecs smoother than mplayerosx, and allot smoother than VLC.
But still, there is allot of WM9 only content out there on the web.

edesignuk, You are 150% right about that. I just wish Apple could come up with something of there own that can play them. I am aiming for a Microsoft free Mac.
