Sled is great for 32 bit machines, but until there are 64 versions of win32codecs, i'd stick to the 32 bit version.

the apps on sled are really good. the latest banshee, which is STILL easy to build on sled 10 gets better with each release. the only problem being it only reads music shares hosted by banshee or itunes v6 and earlier (apple have made it impossible to do so with itunes 7).
shares that are compatible can be right clicked and imported to take with you.

resizing windows always did my head in on mac. i'm so used to alt+middle mouse button to resize windows, it's odd doing it any other way.

you can buy gstreamer plugins (which is what sled uses for its multimedia backend), for playing windows media here: https://shop.fluendo.com/ i've just checked and they have 64bit versions too.
the mp3 plugin is free, so try that first (you have to "buy" it for free in their shop, and they send you a link).
