How do you use this plug-in? I don't see anything in the Plug-ins section of WMP 9.

#5.1 roddy2000 on 13 Jan 2003 - 15:48

it seems to me that WMA Plugin and WMP Plugin are different things... the 1st is support for WMA Audio in Nero, the 2nd _will be_ for CD Burning in WMP

#6 Atom on 13 Jan 2003 - 16:27

cool. always liked nero

#7 oldfart on 13 Jan 2003 - 17:01

whoever wrote this article is a numbnutz. this plugin doesn't do jack sh|it in windows media. it's a plugin for Nero to decode WMA files. either that or the download links are incorrect

#9 n3Mo on 13 Jan 2003 - 22:05

The CD Plug-In for WMP is not out yet, it's only been announced, not released.

#10.1 DWZ on 14 Jan 2003 - 14:20

#12.1 DWZ on 14 Jan 2003 - 14:19

It allows you to burn WMA (Windows Media Audio) files to a CD in Nero which converts it to WAV for playback on a normal CD player on the fly.

#13 belto on 14 Jan 2003 - 07:12

there is something fishy about this. it is from nero i think. i will wait until the release. there is to many wma plug-in right now. belto...

Screw anything to do with with windows media player except for watching vids. Which I don't do much of anyway. Big, bloated, hole infested, insecure, slow a** program.

#14.1 JaggedFlame on 14 Jan 2003 - 13:42

Funny, my copy isn't like that at all. You sure you're not just refusing to use it because it's M$ and it has "required" DRM?
