Real SUCKS
Can Real-One play WMP files? I could wrong here but I thought it did. I seem to remember using it for a time and found it sucked. That's always been Real Player's problem. Thier software just plain sucks. Windows Media Player isn't much better. Quick time doesn't play anything but MOV files, maybe it plays other if you buy the full version.

There was a time back in 1998 when Real was much better than Window Media player. But they just made their software so ugly and unwieldly. I hate using it!
