Damn You Gameday Audio

I just got off the phone with the good people at MLB Gameday Audio and it appears that they will not be using the Real Audio format this season.

I dream of a time when our society and corporate conglomerates will no longer discriminate against Mac users.

When I asked why they hadn't made an announcement about this, the woman told me, the season hadn't started yet. Apparently it is also Spring Training for www.mlb.com

I have a Mac and used to use Real Player as well, but when I ran into similar problems previously, I just downloaded Windows Media Player for Mac. If I remember correctly it was free (or at least pretty cheap), so you might want to look into that.

I'm on a Mac and it's working ... don't ask me what I hgave installed though. It just works, somehow.

I haven't tried Gameday Audio yet, Noah, but I certainly agree with the sentiment.

I have a mac and I used gameday audio this weekend and it worked fine.  My beef with mlb.com is that mlb.tv doesn't have a full screen option on a mac, like it does on a pc.  You can't even make the image larger.

Re: Damn You Gameday Audio
What browsers do you use to get it to work? I've tried both firefox and safari. Although I will definitely try to download the windows player.

Re: Damn You Gameday Audio
Safari. I think when I first loaded up the page it told me I needed to update Quicktime, so check your Software Update menu and see if there's a QT update that needs to be done. If not you should just follow the link mlb.com gives you (assuming that it does) and update that way.

Re: Damn You Gameday Audio
Safari as well.  I think I've also used Internet Explorer for Mac and had it work, but not recently.

Re: Damn You Gameday Audio
If quicktime is an option then use it. It kicks realplayers ass anyhow.

Re: Damn You Gameday Audio
Mac user, Windows Media inside Safari works.

Anyone else trying to get gameday audio or mlb.tv on a WM5 Pocket PC device?  Sorry to bring this up again, but it's killing me that I have unlimited high-speed internet over my phone and I can't make this work.

Re: Damn You Gameday Audio
Thanks all.
It works now -- I just wanted to be able to use Firefox...It amazes me that they update the system and it works on fewer browsers.
