    You will need Flip4Mac to be able to play Windows Media in Safari, since Safari uses Quicktime for media content. There is no real alternative.

    lamtutu,

    Windows Media Player for OS X has long been outdated now, even Microsoft endorses using Flip4Mac over it. As you can see, it doesn't even list Intel, and "Mac OS X 10.2 or higher recommended"...well, you know how old it is then :p.

    if you must ask, my Internet Plug-Ins directory is empty, even with Flip4Mac, Perian and VLC installed.
