I keep Real installed for one site that I go to that has videos/music in Real format. I hate it, it's the devil.

BUT I do have it installed. I just uncheck all the options of calling home, don't let it change any file formats, no updates at all....and I don't even notice that it's there. (Just takes about five minutes once it's installed.)

I just hate that feeling of really wanting to hear something, and then not being able to, or having to wait.

I second that. I was so stoked when I heard about this (Kevin Rose on TechTV). Goodbye and good
riddance to Real Piece of Crap Player.

Why media players need to install blinking icons in the system tray is beyond me... Even if you can disable them, they're still a pain in the ass. All they do is play media, so what the f*ck?

I was using the free version or Real Crapppy Player. The tray icon always flashed to tell me
there was an update. I looked in the options and found an option to turn that off. guess what?
It still continued to do it. When I would close RP it would pop up a notice telling me an upgrade
was available. Jesus, what a massive piece of nagware.

I won't install Real Player. I got tired of it taking over all my files with every upgrade, always running in the background, creating links with every upgrade, etc. Just easier to not use it at all.
