Real player...

Is it as evil on mac as it is for the pc? I really only want the codec for the Radiotastic widget and streaming from the BBC. I have been using the media player streams but they're a tad un-reliable and often skip!

Nah the mac version is fairly quaint, not as invasive at all as on Windows, they obviously have a half decent development team.

Worth a download for sure.

what he said.

the linux and mac versions are very streamlined and non invasive, compared to the dreaded windows version.

I'm a soon to be MacBook owner, don't worry

But I'll still have my Linux machine for stuff and Windows machine for games

Tell me about it, WoW ran nice @ 1440x900 and all, but with the UI scale set down I couldn't see a thing, aswell as plugging in my USB keyboard and mouse everytime I played, so my PC is purely for WoW now.

I too wondered about realplayer when I came to want to watch a certain streamed video, I installed it, played the video and that was that tbh. Seems much better than the Windows version.
