Problem
How can I tune into an Abacast stream on my Mac computer since there is no Mac version of the plugin available?

Solution
In most cases Abacast offers an alternate stream for Mac listeners. You will need to have Windows Media Player installed for your Mac. If you don't already have it installed please visit the links below.

Newer versions of MacOS may need to install the Flip4Mac plug-in for the QuickTime Player.

Windows Media Player for older versions of MacOS:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/mac/mp9/default.aspx - Windows Media Player for Mac OS X
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/mac/mp71/default.aspx - Windows Media Player for Mac OS 8.1 - 9.X

Once Windows Media Player is installed you should be automatically redirected to the Mac stream when you click a link to launch an Abacast enabled stream.
