Have you noticed that AAR now offers streaming via Windows Media?

I'm so glad -- Real Player really screws up my home computer.

1. Is that why the stream cuts out all the time?

I've tried both windows media player and realplayer, and at least at the time, didn't seem any better.

2. Link?

BTW: RealPlayer 10 is a vast improvement. You can opt out of spyware and automatically adding to your startup menu (pet peeve of earlier versions). I actually like the sound of the RealPlayer format. WMP tends to sound garbled.

5. I use the real one player...and it seems to be working fine.

6. I just noticed the change today

at home I always listened via Real Player, and always had problems.

7. I'd upgrade to RP10

RealOne is garbage.

Besides, R1 is configured to run constantly in the background.

RP10 allows you to opt out of it. And the sound seems better.

I just wish everyone could be compatible with the best media player of all - Winamp. I love streaming mp3!

11. I had RP 10 and it made me upgrade to REal One.

Dammit...I'm just going to use Media Player.

15. ?

RP10 is the successor to RealOne.

Weird.

3. Really? WMV screws up mine.

The machines are so touchy....

Wish they could license quicktime. Or better... something Open Source!

9. QuickTime is good quality, terrible intrusion

Adds itself to the startup menu, just like the old RealPlayers did.

But they are great for online streaming of video. The quality is better than WMP and Real.

Unfortunately, all of these players have proprietary formats, making it necessary to have four media players on your computer: WMP, Real, QT, and Winamp (since it's the best player out there, and can be used for non-proprietary formats such as streaming MP3, MP3 playback, OGG, and CD playback).

10. I tried to use the media player last night and it was a mess..

It was skipping like crazy. Finally went back to Real Player with no problems....this time.

12. iTunes as well, I believe.

17. David --

what's "iTunes"?

[GOPisEvil]

18. Apple's ummm...thing for downloading/storing music, etc.

I have an iPod, so I use iTunes to manage all the, um, tunes. :D

13. The new real player works fine.

And the guy who owns Real is a big contributer to AAR, so that's 2 reasons to stick to Real.
