I think the fact that there is a program called Real Alternative to play
real audio files says it all. Real player is dreadful. You get pop ups,
info tabs, things downloaded, and I'm sure loads of spyware as well. I
never trust Real at all. At least you can disable all the nasties in
Windows Media Player and it is accessible!
Cheers
Dave
