[Ti] Windows Media Player for OS X

[Erik Gaderlund]

According to the videolan site it is capable of some WMA codecs, but, 
not all, and the Mac version would most likely be lacking in the 
codecs-you could dig around the site to find if there is an explicit 
list of what works and what doesn't, or you might look for the guys 
who do the port and ask them.
