Friend w/ Mac having problems streaming AAR. Advice?

[Gold Metal Flake]

I don't have the whole story yet, but he sez he tried to put Windows Media Player for Mac on a laptop but the install program will not launch. I suggested Real, but is there a version of Real for Macs? What else works?

Been a few years since I worked with Macs, and so I'm not hip on what works and what does not.

TIA!

1. He needs to use Safari or Firefox

It is nearly impossible to stream anything on a Mac with IE.

3. I dunno if they wanna switch browsers.

But I'll mention it. :hi:

6. It's a free download

and takes just a few minutes.

2. There's a Windows Media Player version and a RealMedia version

I think there's a WMP version for the Mac (ironically, the largest Mac development shop outside of Apple is Microsoft), but barring that, I'm sure there is some kind of program available for decoding RealMedia, even if Real doesn't make a Mac version of its software.

4. I did finally find the link for the free Mac version of Real.

I sent him the link, so we will see. Thanks!

5. I use real media

sound quality is okay and I don't usually have problems streaming
