Handpicked Software

First Microsoft kills Internet Explorer for the Mac (no great loss), but now I’ve heard rumors that Windows Media Player may be next. Even if WMP is updated, why bother? With Telestream’s free Flip4Mac WMV, you can play Windows Media files (.wma and .wmv) in QuickTime Player or in your browser. Optimized for G4 and G5 Macs and supporting Windows Media HD, with Flip4Mac WMV, there’s no reason to launch Windows Media Player again. Finally, you can watch your Netflix.com previews in QuickTime!

Note: Telestream also offers several upgraded versions of Flip4Mac that let you import, export, edit and create Windows Media files, with prices ranging from $29 to $179.

Bottom Line: Flip4Mac is a no-brainer. Everyone Mac user who has to open Windows Media files should install it. Even Microsoft distributes Flip4Mac.
