I know you guys all have your own selection of which you prefer etc, but i found this bit of handy info about real player, that can help you out without installing all the spyware that comes with realplayer, and its legall n stuff :D


''The BBC made a unique deal with Real Networks which disposes of their spyware tactics. Basically, if a user clicks on a link to download Real Player from a BBC website, the referrer script sends them to a page where they can download an expiry-free, spyware-free and nuicance-free version of the player. It's because the BBC have such a stringent public service remit, that it was offensive to charge people a license fee for BBC content, then make them pay all over again for the facility to view/listen to it.''

And if your gonna flame with, Realplayer sucks etc, it all depends what your going to use it for ;) i find it works just fine for me and my needs _b

thats why you install realplayer, and then you can watch *.rm realplayer files in Media Player Classic :)
