[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1081209"] The above answer is partially incorrect. Macs won't play DRM'd WMAs no matter what you do, install, etc. They also can't be converted very easily. If the songs are not DRM'd, then of course one could use a Windows tool to convert them to AAC or MP3 before transferring them, or you could burn the songs to a music CD and re-import them (this will lose all the "tags and info" attached to the songs, though), and there's also a Mac tool called [URL="http://www.nch.com.au/switch/"]Switch[/URL] (free for non-commerical use) which does a nice job of converting WMA to MP3. There's also [URL="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14645/easywma"]EasyWMA[/URL] ($10) which I've not used but gets excellent reviews. [/QUOTE]
