media player plug-in for mac

Tags: mac, mime, player
i am trying to play my sirius satellite radio on my computer (mac osx) through the sirius website.  whenever i try to start up the player, i get the following error:

The page “SIRIUS Player - 100% Commercial-free Music” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”, but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type. A plug-in should be available on this page:

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

unfortunately, this microsoft page does not offer a mac plug-in.  i have tried repetedly to just download the windows media player 9 for mac osx on the page as a potential solution, but it just comes up as a .sitx document on my desktop with a blank page icon that will not open.

i also downloaded the flip4mac software, but that doesn't seem to help.

i was on the phone with sirius tech support for 2 hours today about it and got nowhere.  please help!!!

thanks
