Not sure how Real have survived so long. Windows users get the oh-so-useful
message centre for their sins.
Occasionally turn to this under Linux, rarely use it nowadays for mac -
VLC my preference.
BBC low bandwidth streams still use Real so it stays for now.
Not one of the best players, but I'd rather use than download a whole new
program since I'm on a mac and use this plus quicktime loaded with a bunch of
plugins.
Unlike it's sibling for Windows, which happens to share a tiny amount of
source code, and the same brand, the Linux version is worlds apart. It's a
lightweight, unobtrusive player that works well for those times when you just
need to play an MP3 or Ogg Vorbis file "right now".
Sadly, UTF-8 ID3 tag support seems broken (renders as garbage), and MPEG-4
audio playback doesn't always work, which lowers the Performance score a little,
although it's solid all-round, otherwise.
Love it!
Just for rmvb and rm.
Its good for watching movies.
On the verge of being adware
The most shitty player.
Annoying trojanware. I never use it and didn't explicitly install it.

The browser record plugin is not compatible with firefox 3.5.

RealPlayer tried to take over my PC, back when I was using Win 98. What gives??
useless and bogus thing on the face of the earth...huh!
microsft should buy realmedia and merge it with windows media player so it gonna be best :)
