    I was reading in a thread here earlier about how detested Real Play is amon us. I include myself in this group, but thought it was a necessary evil. What alternatives are there for playing .ram and files and Real streaming audio/video? I would love to remove RA from my notebook.

    Thanks,
    Terry

    media player classic has the ability to play pretty much every file that there is out there. Including the real audio formats.

    MajorGeeks.com has freeware Real Alternative application to rid yourself of the Real player and substitute that for playing Real files. Check out Quicktime Alternate for same function.
