Re: why do people put the real player down?
It's bloated, used for too much advertizing, takes too much trouble to disable the crap turned on by default, etc..etc..
I can't believe anyone would ever use it.
I feel the same way about Windows Media Player.
If I want to just play some audio files I use XMPlay. |

| I hate Windows Media Player. I absolutely agree that it's too bloated. Every version that comes out has more and more features that i don't want.
One thing i absolutely hate about WMP is the stupid news and entertainment section that is stuffed into there. I don't care about the music, movies, and entertainment news when i load my media player - i just want to play videos!
BSPlayer is my video player of choice.

WMP 8 is around 4MB of space and uses 3.87MB of ram on my system
power dvd 7.0 uses 90MB
(watching dvd)
quicktime uses 500+ MB of ram 75%-89% of an dual core @ 2.6GHz/2.8GHz (AMD cpu) when watching an 100MB HD movie (1080P)
real player um i have not used it cause the new GUI sucks and it is not free and has adware/spyware |
