Helixplayer is a free player, but it doesn't have the proprietary codecs used for Realmedia streams, and can't play them. Realplayer effectively is Helixplayer, but with those extra codecs included, IIRC. > Helix is helpless, in my experience. Has anybody here used it to their > satisfaction to listen to the BBC? It's unlikely that you'll be able to, unless someone convinces the BBC to switch to mp3 or ogg. I really do wish they would. These days, I tend to use their Windows Media streams, when they provide them. In response to the original post... I don't have too many problems with gxine & real streams (I'm on broadband), unless there's a bit of congestion, at which point it gets completely out of sync and has to be restarted.
