Hi,
just let ne know if someone have a same strange problem with Windows Media Player for OSX. Streaming work OK. But download wma files does not...Just open new explorer windows and start to download some strange letters and numbers...
Anyone have idea and posible solution? I had WM player for OS 9 on the second hard disc partition, but even deleted that player, OSX still have a same problem.
Thanks.

sounds like IE has somehow taken over the opening of the .wma extension. I don't know where those associations are stored in OS X, but you might try selecting an offending file and hitting command-I (get info), under "open with:" choose WMP, and click "change all...". Or you could rename all .wma files to asf if that still works. Or drag them onto the WMP icon or something.

incidentally, I'm betting if you open the wma file in a text or hex editor you will see the same characters. IE does the same thing with DMG files (displays their byte stream instead of passing them to the appropriate application)
