phooey

Real Player sucked before, it sucks now, and It will continue to suck into the future. RealPlayer is the Gator
of the music player world. It wouldn't infest my computer at all with this turd except I have to have it to play it's extensions.

I love Irish Terriers, Low Brass, and the sound of a 1950 Johnson Viking 1 tranmitter on the air for the first time in 30 years.

Re: phooey

It's still meets my definition of a virus, in that it takes over everything on the machine. Real Player is right up there with AOL. Neither is allowed on any machine in this household.;)

Re: phooey

most of the evil Spyware things realplayer does can be blocked by anyone of the firewalls out there. But it still is a software dung bomb.

I wouldn't install any Real product on my machines, not even if it was the only mp3 player on earth.

They have to be the king of bloatware. They're even worse than AOL. It is indeed the music equivalent of Gator.

I refuse to listen (or watch) anything that requires Real.

I also only have it to play my .rm's, which I am replacing with AVI files. I hate the program, it is the worst media player out there. Give me WMP over that any day.

I saw a post on www.warp2search.net the other day for a realplayer alternative (emulator) download; aswell as a quicktime one. Haven't tried it yet but we shall see.

Re: phooey

These are both definitely worth getting. I wouldn't allow RealPlayer on my system for the reason's others have listed. The RealPlayer alternative works just fine without all the associated junk that comes with RealPlayer itself. I only had a few minor problems with Quicktime, but replaced it too after finding this alternative. Haven't had a problem with either one.
