Real Player alternative (vanity)

As we all know, the official Real Player is full of garbage, spyware, adware etc.

I found a free program that does the same without all the negatives. Download this free alternative and you can watch your rm and rmvb files.

Use RA with caution, if you ever need to run Real Player.

RA will mess RP up and not allow it to load.

I tried it several times. There were times that I needed RP. I had to uninstall both RA and RP. Even then, RP would not install right. I finally had to go back to v8, install it, and let it update itself.

Media Player Classic now plays some of the RP formats. I have never had a problem with MPC.

Both MPC and RA are open source freeware programs.

Why would you ever need RP if you have Real Alternative?

Just curious.

I also recommend Klite codec for all your codec needs.
