Hi guys,

I bought a song online which was downloaded as a WMA file. I tried to open it and it doesn't work. Has anyone come up with a way of playing a 'rights managed' WMA file on a mac. I've downloaded Windows media player 9, without much luck.

I've tried converting it to MP3, but it only created a small file that is about a second long.

Any advice would be great.

There is no way to play that file on mac outside of Virtual PC.

Did you get it from bigpond music?

No, from a UK site... Worth a try for only 99p.
