What do you suggest?
Amarok?
Banshee?
VLC?
Something as good as iTune or Real player.

I wonder why Real player does not support Linux?

Here is a good place to start.

But seriously, RealPlayer? Don't they just use Helix code anyways?

Yes, Amarok really Rocks!
Helix player is no longer available for linux.

Hi,

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

Evo2.

XMMS. (Though actually I mostly use VLC these days.)

RealPlayer no longer supports Linux and there will be no new releases, but older RealPlayer code is available from Helix in sources and *.rpm.

I have and use RealPlayer for Linux because there are audio sites (mostly "Old Time Radio" sites) that are locked into Real formats.

Frankly, I think Real is losing ground these days. I cannot grieve that.

Got debian file or not?

Of course:
moc - ncurses based console audio player
moc-ffmpeg-plugin - ncurses based console audio player - ffmpeg plugin

Make sure to man moc once you install it.

Seriously? As far as I'm concerned both of your preferred players
are the pits, and anything I've used on Linux beats them hands down.

iTunes is the reason I haven't used my iPod in a year, and use
my android phone for music instead. ;D

For music on Linux I mostly use xmms (no, not xmms2).

Cheers,
Tink

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.

I like Clementine a lot. I alternate between that and Amarok.

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.

r u sure?
where can i get the debian file?

Ofcourse, Damn sure! Why don't you google yourself?
Here what I found when I searched on google:
