But do you have a Realplayer,


Why would you want this piece of spyware?


To play real audio streams (and with vsound, to record them). In what way
is it spyware?

It lasted about 10 seconds on
my XP machine before I deleted it.


What is this 'XP' you speak about? It's not a distro I've come across ;-)

There are alternatives.


I was going to say "Such as?" but just for the hell of it dragged up my
listen-to-the-radio command:
realplay \
rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio3/live/r3_dsat_g2.ra
and s/realplay/mplayer/ and waddayaknow - real-free radio :-)

gmplayer works too.

You did say 'alternatives' (plural) - are there others I'm missing?
