Important Note: In 2006, Windows Media Player for Mac was replaced by Flip4Mac featuring Flip Player which is the new Microsoft endorsed official Windows Media Player for Mac. The review here is only for reference and there is no download link. Please download Flip4Mac for the new official Windows Media Player for Mac.
It's no secret that the Mac platform has never been Microsoft's priority. This is why versions of Microsoft products on Mac are usually way behind their PC counterpart. Windows Media Player was no different. While the PC version is now onto 11, Windows Media Player for Mac stopped on version 9 and has now been abandoned. It has been replaced by Flip4Mac which is the Microsoft officially endorsed Windows Media Player for Macs.
Windows Media Player for Mac was always somewhat technologically behind compared to other media players for Mac like Quicktime. It could not handle the latest audio and video codecs and streaming videos resulted in substantial buffer times. The brushed metal feel which looked alright a while back, looked very dated too.
Windows Media Player 9 did not offer Intel support either meaning that only Power PC were able to use it.
Windows Media Player for Mac is no longer available. Please download Flip4Mac instead.

"Trying for Windows Media Player"
I recently upgraded my mac operating system to lion. My windows media player won't run with lion. I thought i'd upgrade my media player. I downloaded it, but i get the message "you can't open the application stuffit expander because powerpc applications are no longer supported." maybe i'm too old, but i can't open the download.
- No pros
- All cons. I can't get it to run.
