I doubt I am the only one annoyed by the fact many sites offer streaming audio in one format - Realplayer.

I religiously refuse to install realplayer. It completly redeifines the term 'bloat'. Not only does it nag at each run for personal information, it installs its 'message center' to bug you with "interesting" alerts from real.

Finally there is a solution:

A freeware compact version of media player with all the realaudio codecs, supporting streaming, etc.

This is so cool!!!
Finally an alternative!!Will grab this 1 b4 Real fills a lawsuit to the developer.... :o :P

Thank you!
I feel the same about RealPlayer and so I have missed some things. Hope this works!

Thanks man..... :D

Hi

Is there a website that can tell us a bit about this alternative media player? I hate Real too, but don't want to blindly install another media player I know nothing about. Can you tell us anything about this one?

Thanks,
E3

PS Real REALLY sucks! :)

It was on the test versions page on the kazaa lite site. There is a very brief paragraph describing the program but no official site. Theres a quicktime version there too.

Ill post the link as soon as I get on my main pc where I have it bookmarked.

Thanks for the info on this.

thx :)
RealPlayer's "message center" just REAL...LY Sucks :P

Seems the install is just a series of dll's

Thanks, it works although it doesn't seem to be a big fan of Xvid files (who is really?).

Thanks Zone-MR for the B1 link. I hope this will work with RM Converter. :)
