Music Stops for Mac Windows Media Player
Linked by Andrew Youll on Fri 13th Jan 2006 17:29 UTC, submitted by Tyr.
Mac OS X Microsoft has officially halted development of its Windows Media Player for the Mac and plans no future Apple Computer versions of its music-playing software, CNET News.com has learned. "It's basically a business decision for Microsoft," Anderson said. "Like any other company, we have business priorities. Our focus really is in delivering the best experience to Windows customers." Instead, users should now use this, which has a few problems though, according to some Mac users.

VLC does not have a Safari plugin. This is most needed.
