all you need is flip for mac I believe. all avi files play for me now. and if I'm not mistaken, WMV too and WaV definitely play. it's just a plugin that works with itunes and stuff. I could be wrong but since I got flip for mac, all my windows content plays. On Jul 20, 2009, at 12:38 AM, Mik

I exported a plug in from audio highjack and it is now in a plain text file. it has what appears the code in it, how do I get it to be an actual plug in? I know this is strictly not accessibility but this in a way could help users of audio high jack if only I can figure out how to convert
