Great product, but Real's protocol has basically been abandoned online. I haven't loaded a Real clip in well over 3 years.

I agree with the guy below. I've even converted a few very very old rm videos I had lying around the hard drive to larger files or re-downloaded what I could find just to be able to ditch the format. Always sucked anyway. R.I.P.

the BBC still use the format A LOT. I hate it so much I convert the stuff to mp3, I don't seem to be able to get the (mainly speech) files less than twice the original size without losing quality, but it's worth it.

It works, though thankfully I've found I haven't needed it for almost a year now. It appears the Real formats are finally almost dead. Some sites still cling to it but none I really care about. It will be a great day when this format is finally extinct.

I like it and have found it quite useful in some cases. But I've just found it to be very disappointing that Not fully supported are: Streaming smil files (.smi .smil). RTE streams in these formats and like BBC only offers WMP or Real. I hope this gets changed and Real Alternative gets to support these streams. Anyone know - does the official version of Real support streaming smil files? Anyone know - do you have to uninstall the previous version of Real Alternative before installing the latest version?

"Does not work" None because it didi not work There was a failure then a need to install another software. It did not even convert a sample small trial file. Simply because It did not work

"Real Player without the annoyances" Needed "Real Player" to use BBC iPlayer from Firefox. RA worked without any hassles (or adware). Did not, and do not plan to use any of the other functions. None that I am aware of.

"It plays .RAM files." It plays .RAM files. It is associated with Real Player media. I had a .RAM file that I wanted to play, but I didn't want to have anything to do with Real Player. This turned out to be a fair alternative. Now if Real Player and it's associated file types would just go away forever.

"Very good program" I olove this progtram. It does evwerything that real player does but does not do any of the annoying things that real player does. It works perfectly. Tehre is no downside to using this program instead of the original program. If you want to run real player but want to have none of the annoyances, choose real alternative instead.

Any alternatives to Real Player are great... Real player is annoyingly, fantastically, irraticallying stupid. There are several reasons for this. Real player is slow, bloated, and includes many advertisements. This program is far better

"Nice audio player." This is a nice audio player that is required by some streaming radio. It would be nice to change the priority and buffering.

"Decent audio player" Plays Real-format files just fine. And the best thing is, it's not Real. Those Real guys think they own your computer, your identity, your mind. Nothing encountered. (I'm not a heavy user.)

cyberdoc99 seems to be a pimp for rt/qt alternative :) Regardless, good lightweight program, does what it must unobtrusively
