Perhaps the originators of "Flip" for Mac. will get it right; but my experience shows BUGS galore.
I am a satisfied Marlins fan (Beware the Marlins) and listen to their Audio broadcasts via ESPN Audio. ESPN, like many others, use Microsoft's Windows Media Player to give us these broadcasts.
After downloading the junk from "Flip" for Mac I could no longer get ESPN's broadcasts, on Windows Media Player or on "Flip" for Mac. It completely bugged-up everything; and the ESPN engineers told me this was their experience with "Flip"for Mac's junk.
I solved the problem by getting ride of "Flip"for Mac and also Window's Media Player. I had to trash away the latter because "Flip" for Mac poisoned it so that it would no longer work.
My experience tells me this stuff is junk and causes severe problems with Windows Media Player as well as not performing as billed.

System Info:I use Mac OS 10.4.7 on a nifty eMac. It works great, except when bugs and the silly novelties and notions of "Flip" for Mac bug it up. I use Firefox, Camino, and Opera as browsers.

Flip4Mac allows Apple's Quicktime Player to play Windows Media files. Have you tried that? I have found that it works transparently and very well indeed. Flip4Mac llowed me to throw away the Mac Windows Media Player, which is no longer supported by Microsoft.Reply to This
