Installing Windows Media Audio - .bin

Hello,
When I tried to download Windows Media Player 9, it came as a .bin document that my Mac doesn't recognise. Does anyone know what I can do?
+(For info: I am a musician that has recently moved from a PC to a Mac. I have literally hundreds of WMA files - my own rough recordings - that I'd like to keep as WMA files. Obviously, these don't play on my Mac and, after a bit of investigation, it appears that I would need Windows Media Player for Mac to me able to play them.)+
Ben

The usual helper application is Aladdin Stuffit Expander.

  • Can't open .bin file (trying to install windows media player)

    I'm trying to install windows media player on my brand new macbook pro. I downloaded the .bin file and have installed Stuffit Expander. When i try to open the .bin file, stuffit opens to the progress window and tells me that its preparing but nothing happens. it just freezes on me. i've openeother .bin files with no problem. How can I open this .bin file?

    I hope you are aware that the Windows Media Player plug-in will not work with Safari because it's not a universal binary. Furthermore, WMP is no longer supported by Microsoft for the Mac. Instead you should download and install Flip4Mac (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.)
    Although the WMP plug-in for Safari will not work on an Intel Mac, the player will work fine through the Rosetta emulator. If you are insistent upon using WMP with Safari, then after you install WMP and the plug-in, select Safari's application icon, press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Check the option "Open using Rosetta." This will force Safari to run as a PPC app.
    If Stuffit Expander will not open the .bin archive then check to be sure you are using the current version of it. If you continue having problems then try using TheUnarchiver instead (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.) It's also possible you have a defective download.

  • I want to convert the MPEG-4 Audio (.m4a) to a window media audio file

    i want to convert the MPEG-4 Audio (.m4a) to a window media audio file,  i downloaded some songs so i can run them with a photo slide show on my samsung video.  the machine would not play them (could not find them)  the files that work are all windows media audio

    You can't convert to WMA with iTunes. I'd be surprised if the software can't read mp3 files. iTunes can convert to that. Otherwise there are free format converters out on the web. The suite from http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/ is handy and includes an audio convertor. There is no need to install their toolbar or any other 3rd party software that gets offered.

  • I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

    You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
    I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
    You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
    Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

  • Pre-installed Windows Media?

    Does the iMac (10.5.1) come with any Windows Media programs/files, etc. pre-installed? This question is asked because TechTool Pro 4.6.1 identifies minor problems with files in this area. I installed Windows Media upon the first day of using the iMac, and I recall that the installation didn't proceed smoothly --- and I'm now using RealAudio Player. I'd like to uninstall all files/programs related to Windows Media (and possibly attempt reinstallation from scratch at some later date).
    What I'd like to know is if any of the Windows Media files should be left on the HD.
    Does typing "media" in the Finder "Search" identify all that is associated with Windows Media?

    The Mac doesn't come pre-installed with anything Windows Media related, no.
    In fact, Windows Media Player is no longer supported (or even distributed) by Microsoft. It's not a universal binary either. They provide a link so you can get Telestream's Flip4Mac for free. I'd recommend trying/using that rather than using WMP or Real -- go to the WMP site and you'll see a download link.

  • How to merge music from a My Music (Windows media audio files)  and iTunes?

    Purchased some music from iTunes music store and I am hoping to get them on my MP3 player that is NOT an iPod. Is there a way to do this? I want to have these songs as well as songs from my My Music folder (Windows media audio files) on my MP3 player....
    I know I cannot move the music from iTunes to the My music.... (well I can but when I click on them to play, iTunes comes up)
    I know that iTunes is not compatible with my MP3 player....
    anything besides burning a disc (which I am not sure my computer can do...)?
    thanks in advance, Megan

    Purchased some music from iTunes music store and I am hoping to get them on my MP3 player that is NOT an iPod. Is there a way to do this? anything besides burning a disk?
    Sorry but no, there isn't. Tracks from the iTunes Music Store (as they are with any other legal download store with major-label content) are copy protected and so can't be directly converted. The only way to get them into another format is to burn them to an audio CD, so if your computer doesn't have a CD burner, then you're stuck, I'm afraid.

  • Installed windows media player but still cannot play some files

    I've installed windows media player for mac but some sites still ask me to download, have you encountered the same problem before?

    Most sites require Windows media player version 10 or 11. The latest version available for mac is version 9. So are still not able to play the content.
    An alternative is to download Flip4Mac from http://www.flip4mac.com
    I have downloaded and installed this software and found that it serves as a good substitute.

  • Downloading and installing windows media components for quicktime

    I am relatively new to Mac and haven't really installed much other than Handbrake. I was trying to install windows media components for quicktime or even windows media player for quicktime in order to play .wmv files. However, anytime I click to download something, NOTHING HAPPENS. No download appears, nothing goes to my download stack, nothing installs. Is there something I need to know when attempting to download and install something on my Mac that I may not just know coming over from the dark side of windows?
    any help is appreciated

    Yes, good advise...Flip4Mac is essential for WMV content. Here's a list of other things you might need for the various formats out there.
    VLC
    Real Player
    Perian
    Adobe Flash

  • Windows Media Audio 10 Pro Support on Ze

    I was wondering if Creative were planning to add support for Windows Media Audio 0 Pro on Zen based players with future firmware updates. I've been trying out the format a bit an its very good quality for size, a definite improvement on WMA 9.
    If you want to try ripping your music to this just download Windows Media Player and check it out.

  • Installing windows media player on my ibook G4

    I have on several occasions now attempted to download and install wmp on my ibook (only because some radio stations need it to work) and I get as far as downloading it either to the desktop or in a folder in the documents section, then when I click on the icon in order to install it nothing happens only the itunes start up - but there is no mention of windows media player wherever I look. I know it's probably something really obvious but for the life of me I can't work it out. I hope someone out there can - they usually do.
    thanks in advance

    Windows media player 9 is still available and downloadable for mac, there's just no updates. Flip4mac is a terrible piece of software in my experience.
    Do you have Aladdin Stuffit Expander installed? It sounds like you're missing that to expand the download file. Once you have installed Windows media player, then Safari will use it automatically [which is highly recommended as myself and plenty others have found the other to be impossible to use].
    Here's the link and down at the bottom of the page you'll find the instructions with the link to Stuffit expander.

  • Installing windows media player 9

    I trying installing windows media player 9 but it will not install after the downloading
    Any ideas or help

    As mentioned, F4M is a better alternative to WMP since Microsoft is no longer updating WMP for Macs.
    For everyday use, F4M is great. If you run into any files that won't play with it, I suggest you take a look at VLC. It is a great program to have around since it plays just about anything you will run into.
