I'd like to have all the time I wasted on Real Player and getting it
under control. And don't get me started on Acrobat.
I use Winamp almost exclusively. It handles most media types and has
thousands of streaming radio stations and the ability to record what you
hear. I haven't seen real player for years.
WMP is my choice for ripping, and VLC for all other media chores except
recording, where I use Nero.
