Microsoft stopped updating Windows Media Player for Mac some time ago. However, if you still want to install it, be patient, it will not be easy.

You need Stuffit Expander to decompress the installation file.

Once decompressed, click the installation file, follow the steps and when the installation process is finishedado, access the Windows Media Player folder you will find in the Applications folder to run it.

Finally, you'll be able to play Windows Media files on Mac.

Windows Media Player is for you if

✓ You need a way to play WMA and WMV files directly on your Mac
✓ You value accessing Windows Media content without switching devices or converting formats
✓ You prefer integrating media playback into your existing Mac workflow through a dedicated application

Why use something native to Windows if there are better ones for this OS?

Why use Windows Media Player if there are better players like Songbird and iTunes? That's why Microsoft no longer updates its version for Mac.
