Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
After having my new 13" mbp from 2 weeks I have found some must have software for me and thought I would share. I had a lot of music on my windows desktop that I wanted to put on my mbp. The issues is most of the music is in wma format. Itunes won't play wma. There is a plug in for Quicktime but its not that great. I did some research and installed VLC last night and have to say I love it. It will play .wma with out a problem and I can actually select all the songs in the folder and hit open just like I could in windows media player. If I tried that with the quicktime plug in it would open 16 different quicktime windows with one song in each window. Second I have a bunch of photos I put on my mbp. Preview is ok but I liked how in windows I could open one photo in a folder and then just go through all of them without having to select all and then select open. With Xee I can now do that. I open one photo in the folder and can look at all of them without having to select open all or anything like that. Makes for a much better experience then preview. Third I have a Hauppauge WinTV 950 that I used with my old dell laptop when I was at work to watch tv. I found that there is a program for mac called EyeTV. Bought it and installed it last night works great and much better then the software I had on my Dell. Fourth thing I put on all my computers is open office. I'm having lots of fun with this MBP and Mac OS. I will put windows on my MBP eventually but only to play some old games when on the go.
Some must have Software at least for me.
