    while microsoft may well have been violating the anti-trust agreement, i can't say i feel too sorry for realmedia.

    realone is easily one of the worst pieces of ****ware i've had to deal with, trying to take over every goddamned thing it can.

          Real has certainly turned into a scummy program which is disappointing cos it was so good when it started out and its a pretty good video format.

          You can also download add-ons that allow real to be played by WMP (certain versions only).

            Why the hell does anyone actually encode media to real format, anyways?

              Generally speaking porn website operators.

              Its more suitable for low bit rate stuff at still reasonable quality.

                            IMO winamp was (and maybe still is) the best MP3 player, and I've used it for that (not for video) for years. What I've noticed is that winamp and musicmatch are both going the same way that real has gone. When you install the newer versions they try to take over your PC (without permission). I no longer install any video/MP3 players on my gaming machine other than WMP (which is much better than it used to be anyway) cos I dont want to deal with the driver and other ****ups that installing real/winamp/musicmatch can cause.

                              musicmatch has always sucked.
                              real is ****.

                              winamp still makes it pretty damn easy for you to not associate anything with it. so does wmp.
