For those of you who don't like Real Player, apparently there's a new program out that will play Real files. Go to www.freecodecs.com and click the 'Real Alternative' link. Haven't tried it myself yet.

# They did
trial Media Player a few months back. and that was better that the real player stream.

But then they stopped it.

# for streaming it's not too bad
it's playing stuff from the archives.
I hate the way real tries to start up every time.
My PC is old & tired it doesn't need things auto starting.

# I know what you mean
I have recently uprated mine, so it makes it a bit better.

But Real, I thought, really had the market by the balls with their format, until now. A free Real player that isn't bloatware will be a good thing.

# No doubt they'll try and shut down the developers.
But it'll be too late, it's out there. I suppose they'll be able to block it server-side eventually...
