A.97. Windows Media Player

The Mac comes with individual programs for playing multimedia files:

• QuickTime Player (Chapter 14) to play back movies and sounds.

• iTunes (Chapter 8) to play CDs, Internet radio, MP3 files, and other audio files. (iTunes for Mac, like its Windows brother, can even create MP3 files.)

• DVD Player (Chapter 8) for playing DVDs. If your Mac does, in fact, have a DVD player built in, this program is in the Applications folder.

Windows Media Player is , however, available in a Macintosh version, paradoxical though that may sound. You can download it from www.microsoft.com/mac.
