Well I just went and got it, so thanks Ramrod. The 'preferences' options are vast and bewildering, but if you have a little patience and work through them one at a time, you can configure Real Player so it only does what you want it to.

And as for arguments about M$, the EU and media players, I think the whole world is a better place if there is some genuine competition out there. M$ gets its products out due to its built-in advantage, not because they are the best. IMO technologies produced by Real and by Apple are both better than, for example WMV. I for one don't want to see us forced to use an inferior product. Everyone download Real Player NOW!!

Incidentally, I noticed they decided to stop messing around with the brand name and have reverted to calling it 'Real Player' instead of 'RealOne'. Good on them.
