    Currently I have installed for media, Real,Windows media player, quick time and I tunes. Is there a free media player that I can use that will anable me to get rid of these and use one for all the purposes that these would be used for. Particularly going to web sites and listening to streaming audio that asks for a specific player usually one of these or doesn't give an option and you just need to have one thats required.
    Thank you RBH

    Let me clarify, the link I sent above contains EVERYTHING. Including the players. I just listed the codecs that it has. Next time I will be more precise with what I put as a post. Sorry to mislead. If you download the k-lite codec pack full, you will NOT get real time or quick time codecs, UNLESS you downloaded quicktime alternative and Realtime Alternative. Why download these seperate programs, when you can download it all at once?
