RealJukebox is one of the worst players I have ever experienced, besides the new
Windows Media Player 7.0. Both are resource hogs. I have been using RealPlayer 8
and it seems to be ok, and version 7 gave me no problems either,although I am
never happy with any product that comes from Real, but I keep it around because
some sites require you to have it. I very rarely use it unless the situation
calls for it.
