Windows Media Player 9 Series (codenamed Corona)[1] is a version of Windows Media Player, released in 2003. It is the last version of Windows Media Player that supports Windows 98 SE, Windows Me and Windows 2000. It was included in the RTM release of Windows Server 2003. It was also included in the Windows Security Update CD for Windows 98 SE build 2222B and Windows Me build 3000A from February 2004. This is the last release of Windows Media Player for Mac OS.

Installing the Service Pack 2 or 3 on Windows XP replaces Windows Media Player 8 with this version. According to Microsoft this was done to fix security vulnerabilities that were present in Windows Media Player 8. Microsoft advised to uninstall the Service Pack if a user wants to remove Windows Media Player 9 Series.[2]

It was replaced by the Windows Media Player 10 Series in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. To restore Windows Media Player 9 on Windows Server 2003, Microsoft advised to uninstall Service Pack 1 or 2 for that operating system.
