Editor's review of Windows Media Player (Classic)
If you're a Mac user who hasn't made the jump to OS X (what are you waiting for?), and you're trying to find a solution for playing WMV files you find on the Web, this will only help you some of the time. Windows Media Player (Classic) offers a clunky interface, inconsistent playback, and no tech support whatsoever, should your computer cease to function from its use. Though we admit this is unlikely, what is likely is you will become frustrated and trash this buggy media player long before you go to the trouble of crafting an e-mail asking the non-existent support team why the program isn't working (again). Let us help you. Our recommendation is: don't download this program to begin with, but if you must, it only sometimes works.
