RealPlayer is an all-in-one media player that's able to play virtually all multimedia files out there, while offering users a bunch of extra features.
The installer is full of options, allowing to choose right from the beginning whether to place shortcuts on desktop, to use RealPlayer for opening multimedia files that are not yet associated with another application or to install some other applications that have nothing in common with RealPlayer.
This is the reason why RealPlayer is marked as ad-supported, as it attempts to install two additional tools, both of which are not required for the program to work properly.
The application may not surprise you at the first sight, as RealPlayer greets the user with its now well-known browsing window. The interface is simple, yet stylish and comprises the player itself, a Library section that allows you to organize your media content and a CD burner.
RealPlayer has support for most audio and video formats out there, boasting the same features as many other digital media players out there, including playlists, libraries, equalizers and even burning capabilities. Of course, RealPlayer also allows you to listen to online radio stations, as the app includes over 3200 stations from all over the world.
What we liked the most was definitely the fact that RealPlayer can handle basically all multimedia files on your computer, but on the other hand, a few interface upgrades here and there would be great.
RealPlayer acts as a multimedia center for your computer. It is not just a player, but it can also be tagged as a media organization tool and a CD burning utility. All of these, together with its accessibility and ease of use make it worth your while.
