Version: Real Alternative 1.52
"Great player for playing RealMedia content without RealPlayer itself"
Pros: Plays all kinds of media files ( mostly RealMedia related, but others as well ).
Nice clean interface.
No RealPlayer needs to be installed to view RealMedia content on the internet.
Cons: Nothing, used this program before, now I re-installed it now.

Version: Real Alternative 1.52
"May even be better than VLC player for basic needs!"
Pros: Ive used VLC player for some time for most of my media, but this one seems to work with most if not all of my media files and it plays in a much better interface. I dont need all of the options with VLC and it seems that Real Alternative Plays much better at default settings than VLC does. VLC probably needs configuration to make it run well, but all I want is something that will run great from the start... this one does the job so far!
Cons: Has a problem playing flash media, but its ok because I use BitComet Flash Player for that. Sometimes it cuts out on the real streams, but that may be an issue with my router, I dunno.

Version: Real Alternative 1.52
Pros: A great replacement for Real Media. Yknow, with all the hassle of Real Media, pop up window asking for registration, limitations and all, this piece of software has quickly become my choice. It's small, fast, with lotsa options. And no annoyance whatsoever.
Cons: None that I know of.

Version: Real Alternative 1.52
"Works, nothing fishy detected"
Pros: Works like a charm for playing RM files. Easy install, no alarms sounded from my internet security applications. I know I'm not the only person in the world sick of all the GARBAGE associated with downloading, installing, and operating Real Player. This appears to be a refreshing alternative.
Cons: So far -- no complaints.
