Editor's review of RealPlayer
4.0 stars
- "Keepin' it Real"
One of the dinosaurs of media playback, RealPlayer has been on the scene since 1995. Sometimes it feels like it hasn't been updated since then, no matter what the version number says. Still, RealPlayer 11 beta introduces a major new function and takes care of some frustrating bugs, making it respectable once again.
The player runs smoother than ever, which to some might not be saying much, but if you haven't used it in years, the differences are dramatic. Now the free version of the player has the ability to download videos from the Internet, including Flash-based videos like those on YouTube. Once installed, mousing over an embedded video will provide a pop-up that not only lets you download the vid, but also change its name, the save-to directory, and other options.
The update sees a major face-lift, as well, removing much of the clutter from the downloadable music store. Though not groundbreaking, the RealPlayer music store gets a thumbs up for being easy to use and offering a flexible DRM policy. The new jukebox features let you make playlists, rip CDs, burn custom mixes, and listen to hundreds of online radio stations. The program still suffers from an intrusive installation, but file-type hijacking and upgrade harassment are mostly gone.
The positive steps begun with Version 10 continue, and users of earlier versions should upgrade.

Version: RealPlayer 11
"Can't even beat Windows Media Player"
Pros: It plays certain files that other player normally don't support. It looks somewhat nice.
Cons: I didn't like this product because it consumes a lot of resources. I had RealPlayer years ago, and gave it a try again, and nothing has changed much except for the interface. Crashes still occur, strange user interface, high resource usage, and urber annoyance. It even says it there:
"Note: This version of the RealPlayer is recommended for US users only."
Which is also another reason why RealPlayer isn't as useful. Because 98% of the world can't even use it!

"The RealPlayer once was great"
Pros: Design and stated abilities are great
Cons: Yet to prove what it states...predominantly due to installation bugs which have affected each upgrade (bar one) in the last 5 versions. You would think they would make this a priority (as many have made them aware).

Version: RealPlayer 11
"Very buggy bloat ware which has been reported to stopbadware org"
Pros: Realplayer has a buffer, so on live streams you can scroll back, but has become over bloated, see comment's below.
Cons: Don't install this if you don't like problems. Real player has been reported to stopbadware org for several violations, the main problem is you can't un install all the program!!! Visit stopbadware org to see there report.

"- Can't beat Good Ol' Windows Media Player -"
Pros: Works Good...looks good.
Cons: I don't think it measures up to Windows Media Player. I've tried shifting to Real several times; but I come back to WM Player every time.
