What's your favorite MP3 player software

[Qyöt27]

real one is the worst music player i have on my system. all of those popup notifications on the toolbar and all of the "switch to premium" bs just turn me off.

i guess they need the extra money after losing 24million dollars last year and a couple million in the past 3 weeks.

If you don't want to deal with opening anything in RealOne at all, just install the Matroska Full pack (or the RealMedia-specific pack at the bottom of the page) - it comes with a RealMedia DirectShow plugin so you can watch any RealMedia content (audio or video) in WMP or any other DirectShow-based player. You still have to have RealOne installed on the system though, but you won't get those pop-ups, etc. since you never have to open RealOne itself. I also think I have RealVideo associated to Media Player Classic, if memory serves me right.

If you've got RealAlternative installed as well you don't even have to have RealOne on your system, but I've never fully trusted RealAlternative because I seem to remember having problems with video lag while using it, so I took it out.

Linux- XMMS.

OS X- iTunes.

Macs rule.
