Hi Chris, The plug-in I've installed is the Innover RealAudio plug-in. Is this also called the Tara plug-in or is it something different? I've had it for some time but only just got round to installing it. Can't remember where I got it from. Best.

With real player 10 being reasonably accessible, you are really better off just installing it and disablingit's ability to play all the stuff Winamp does. On my system here, I've got real 10 playing real media, windows media playing windows media stuf and Winamp plays everything else. It really is the best way to go. Well, at least for me it is, all the players are co-existing nicely. At 01:44 PM 9/29/2004, you wrote: >Hi Folks, > >As I don't much care for Realplayer, this morning I installed the WinAmp >plug-in.
