Flip4Mac

Today I found yet another tool in my quest to use my MacBook Pro in the same manner I use my PC. Flip4Mac is a tool that allows QuickTime player to play Windows Media files, both audio and video. For the most part, this hasn’t been much of a problem as it’s not everyday I need to play audio/video files on the internet. But it didn’t take long to figure out that most web sites use the wmv format. Two specific sites that I go to consistantly are mlb.com and e-radio.gr. mlb.com has a service to listen to all baseball games on the internet for $15 per year, which I signed up for. e-radio.gr is an online music link to various Greek radio stations. So far, Flip4Mac has provided limited help. First of all, it doesn’t work on mlb.com, which causes me to use my other computer to listen to games. As for e-radio.gr, it works on some of stations, but not all. I’ll take it for now until I find a better option. Hopefully a better solution will surface soon since Microsoft recently decided to no longer support Windows Media Player for Macs. Until then, I’ll continue to switch between PC and Mac.
