How can I read a wmv file on an AppleMac? I've got Quicktime can I convert it to that or would it be easier to send it to a friend who just uses a PC.

Try the VLC (VideoLan) player for the Mac. See here:-

will iTunes not convert it for you?

on iTunes/windows, adding a .wma file will prompt you to convert it (to aac usually).

As far as I remeber fo3nix while you are correct in that windows will convert the WMA files in iTunes it doesn't work like that on my Mac.
