Do real player sucks?
Share your view here about it. The once great media player is no longer the shining star it once was.
The purpose of this thread is I want to know why is it not liked by people anymore.Thoughts are like a never ending ocean where it is deep, endless and dangerous

I think it is a lot, maybe too much for people who just want a player. But I have to say I used their download manager a year or two ago and as far as downloading videos it was very good. IIRC I could only integrate it into IE which was slow before slapping on RP downloader. Maybe that's why I ended up using FF and one of the download helper extensions.

I have never kept it. Before I knew KMPlayer and VLC, I had no choice than to use real media player to open .rm files. I was so annoyed that time with the ads, constant nag for a purchase for full version (pro). It also lagged a lot and I sometimes needed to force close it with task manager. Total madness!
Now iTunes, on the other hand.. (wish somebody can create another thread for iTunes so I can also give my rant)

Pretty same here, never like to use it but can't forget that time where there wasn't no choices
But after that i have use Real Alternative or other codec pack which contains tools to listen and watch those files.

I don't use Real Player. I prefer Real Alternative (2.0.2) and use MPC-HomeCinema (1.3.2264.0 x86).
Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate x86 + KIS 2011 (11.0.2.556 b.a.c.d) + Sandboxie Paid (3.54) + Deep Freeze Standard (7.20.020.3398)

I don't like it because it only plays realmedia before don't know if it can support multi-formats now, and because of this,

The ads were a killer. Took up a lot of bandwidth. There were and are better, faster easier ways to get the audio & video.

I've used Real Player in the past, much prefer VLC now.

I don't know about the current version as it's a while that I don't use real player. But I've never liked it.
Screw Google! Ask me!

Real Player has been one of the very first adware of the computer history and it is still ad-supported.
