I may as well pose the question here - what would I use on an iMac to play a .wmv file?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

To play .wmv files on any Mac, the easy -- and free -- option is to just download Windows Media Player for Mac.

Thanks Steph! I'm surprised the friend I bought the computer from didn't have that on there somewhere, but it might be one of those things that got left in the other operating system (I can boot up in two different versions).

Anyone know anything good or bad about the 80 gb Compusa external hard drive?

And does anyone know where I can get a good pair of headphones to replace my iPod headset, which is already collapsing under the strain of nearly-daily use? I've had it for 3 months, and they're starting to give me static and the bassline cuts out regularly.

How big do you want? Do you want earbuds or is it more for travel and such? How much do you want to spend?
The Bose Quiet Comfort are full size active noice cancelling headphones that are truly amazing.
Shure makes earbud style ones that are also amazing.

I've got the Shure ones and will vouch for their amazingness. However, they ain't cheap.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Headphones are something that are worth spending the bucks on, though, especially if you have them in regular use.
Today one of my kiddos was twirling her set by the wires, whilst definitely not practicing her scales. We did a little reprimanding. Heh.

Earbuds are good -- I use the iPod on the bus and for walking & gym time, and headphones would be too much.
How expensive is "not cheap", Jon?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
