Then again, thank goodness for Quicktime Alternative

It's crossplatform and free unless you buy the pro version. Although I undestand that WMV is better for streaming video for dialup (yay.....)

I was not at your keyboard while you were using it .

Moi? Never! :angry Besides, this is I think, my first poll and I never imagined that it would put my vote into Italics like that . . . I just wondered . . that's all . . really!


Tried it and don't want any version of Real Player .

Good enuff for me! :thumbs:


I have read many a post on this forum and it appears to me that some people try to influence other people far too much . No names metioned at all .

Present company excluded . . . of course? :xmouth:

512598 2007-01-05 05:16:00 Well, read over the thread, and uninstalled Real Player- lappie has been on a go slow for a while, so I figured it was time for a clean out (have the feeling a HJT thread is coming up anyways! :lol: )...

... only to find that BBC radio needs it to stream music through! Bugger! Giving the alternative version a crack now, hopefully it'll integrate okay... wish me luck!

512600 2007-01-08 13:16:00 real player is the only media player i hate more than quicktime:annoyed:

real pain-in-the-ass player is crap for all of the above reasons

"quick" time is hardly quick, fast, or even average . somehow it always takes much longer than windows media player to load, but M$ may be to blame for this - i wouldnt put it past them

windows media player does what i tell it to, and is there whether or not i like it so to hell with the others like winamp even if they are good! i'm sick of lemons!
