If you have Realplayer installed then Real Alternative is a backward step in players. You shouldn't uninstall Realplayer as Real Alternative can't play a lot of formats Realplayer can.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kathy Szinnyey Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 6:18 AM To: PC audio discussion list. Subject: Question about Real Alternative Anyone out there using this program? It's supposed to be a way to play Realplayer files but I guess easier to use? When I downloaded it, though, it wanted me to uninstall Realplayer, which I was not about to do, having gone through many hoops to install my Realplayer 10.5. Also, since I'm on this subject, is there some plug-in for me to play Realplayer rax files in Winamp? I still don't quite get plug-ins, believe it or not. Thanks for any help you all might have.
