For some reason, WMP 9 on my mac wont play MP3 files. They play in Quicktime,
iTunes, and real player, and they also work in those programs on PC.
and ideas? thanks

Sure, WMP for Mac is not designed to play anything else than Windows
Media files. No MP3. It really is only a very basic WM player and
nothing else. It's not supposed to be anything like WMP on PC.

WMP isn't *supposed* to play MP3 files on a Mac; just proprietary stuff
like .wma, .wmv, .asf, etc.
