I have some audio files here http://www.fullforcerec.com/crew_audio.php, but a Mac users get the following error message:

The page “:-:-:-: Full Force Recordings :-:-:-:-:” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:

Please advise. Is there a work around on this or do Mac Users have to download the latest version of WMP? I'm not sure what the Mac/ActiveX capabilities are. Is it browser dependant?

TIA

Also, there is no ActiveX support on the Mac.

So it must be something to do with having WMP installed... Or at least the latest version.

So whats the difference between ActiveX supposrt and the available ActiveX pluggins for Mac?

Cheers

There are no ActiveX plugins for Mac because Mac doesn't support ActiveX

ActiveX is a buggy, insecure piece of crap technology that should have never been invented. The best way to make sure it disappears is by not using it.
