I need to know how to download MIME files on my MAC. I keep getting these neat microsoft windows player files in MIME and I cannot open them.

I miss out on too much. I went to the page my MAC suggested and downloaded 2 different types of files but STILL cannot open MIME FILES!

I've never found a solution to this problem. The only way I can ever view WindowsPlayer files is just to look at them on my husband's PC, which sucks. I, too, downloaded new players but can't seem to find the missing link to make the MIME files compatible.


When someone posts a video here on putfile, I can't view it on my MAC no matter what I try. It sucks.

Hmmm I wonder if I get that Virtual PC for a Mac if THAT would enable me to see it?!

It played for me just fine! You must be missing a plug in, like Macromedia Flash or something.
