Help with flip4mac and XM radio

[jmanpatsfan]

Hi,
I want to play music from xmradio.com but when I click on a station, it gives me the message:
"The page “XM Radio Online - The Player” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”, but you don’t have a plug-in for this MIME type. This page may have the plug-in for you to download and install:

http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/"

So I installed flip4mac and went back to click on a station and the message comes up again. What am I doing wrong?
I also tried to install Windows media player 9 but the only thing that comes up is a textedit window.
Thanks.

Maybe a 3rd-party client would help?

I know that's not the solution you're looking for, but it may help in the interim.

Thanks that works great but you have to buy it.

Another app for $15:

I was browsing the specs for XM Radio Online, and it states that two components are required for Mac OS X, one of which you already have:

1) WMV Components for Quicktime [check!]
2) Flash Player 7 or better [check?]

You might want to try reinstalling the newest Flash Player from Adobe and see if that helps.

Also, have you tried with other browsers? Firefox, if you've been using Safari? Safari, if you've been using Firefox?

I'll try getting flash player, but Radium is really cool.
