But seriously, RealPlayer? Don't they just use Helix player code anyways? RealPlayer exists on Linux too, so I don't know why you said they don't support linux.
I've never used "iTune". I think I haven't used RealPlayer in more than ten years, from memory it was pretty nasty. In recent years I've been using moc. http://moc.daper.net

I have and use RealPlayer for Linux because there are audio sites (mostly "Old Time Radio" sites) that are locked into Real formats.
I thought that is was possible to get real media files playing with mplayer? I dont know for sure, I havent touched a .rm file for years, and I dont recall running across any real media format stuff online for years either.....

+1. I'd rather use amarok than itunes or real player, and I dont like amarok at all.
I mostly use deadbeef with linux. I'm a huge Foobar2000 fan with windows, and I even ran it under WINE for a while, but deadbeef is easier to setup, and I've figured it out I can get it looking similar to my prefered Foobar layout.

Rep:
Amarok is good choice for audio player and VLC is good for playing video files. And you can install real player on linux. Who says linux doesn't support real player.
