VLC also allows you to play up to Windows Media 8 (I think also WMA9).

Because you've hurt them with your words of 'not being free', the Flip4Mac developers have decided to make it a free download.

MPlayer, VLC, and Windows Media Player all play WMV.

MPlayer and VLC, in my experience, only play some WMV files. It seems to depend on the codec, more than anything else; DRM isn't always the issue.
Windows Media Player, on the other hand, has a different problem. It can play almost anything, but first it has to play at all. This seems to be a hit-or-miss proposition with Tiger; it works for some people but not others. It doesn't work for me. Now that the Flip4Mac player component is free, though, I think I'm going to give that a try; I don't need to work with WMV often, but sometimes it's all that's offered.

You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!
