I was unaware that the standard audio player played WMA at all...I knew
it played RealPlayer streams but in the past I'd had problems with it. I
tried a few Real streams and they did seem to work...never tried the WMA
though.

Free alternatives are always better but if it works I suppose it is fine
for now. I wouldn't have asked if I knew that the standard audio player
did WMA.
