....and without reason. It hangs up without a reason. It doesn't respond
to commands without a reason. It doesn't provide you information about
the stream and the connection, without a reason. It doesn't support the
latest codecs that the Windows version supports. Real Player is
absolutely far away from this crap and their client is much more
efficient in MacOS and Linux. Shame on all the commercials who invest
money in a technology that works only sometime. A suggestion: pay
Microsoft only sometime.

Everybody here knows that WMP is buggy as hell.
Since Realplayer doesn't read the WMP formats, it sure isn;t a solution
(the same goes for QuickTime Player). You still have the option to use
the FLip4Mac WM codecs for Quicktime for some of the oformats, but it
still seems rather buggy and limited too :-\
