Interesting that the others find Real Player better. I personally find that
I want to 'like' Real Player better...however, I guess it depends on your
use...

I have found that on dial up and for listening only to internet radio
stations I prefer WMP as it seems to have less annoying pop up items and
other bandwidth sucking features. I also find that at least for the stations
I listen to the WMP allows lower bandwidths and still sounds acceptable.
With Real Player I found that it either wants to use 44kbps or 16 kbps which
for me where too high or too low.

But I imagine that if you want news or interactive items available on the
web Real Player may be the better choice.
