I hate Real Player!!! Any way to listen to ram files thru Winamp? (poll inside!)

[Bitek]

God that program sucks, but unfortunately so many websites use it, and the format seems to be propietary (as other players don't ever read it, even newest versions...)

I want to listen to stuff in .RAM format, but refuse to put RP back on my computer, and couldn't find any plugins @ winamp.com.

Any ideas\ solutions?

Those look interesting, but require you to have RP installed, something I was hoping to avoid if possible. Are there any stand alone plugins?

Anything that is posted in only Realplayer format isn't worth viewing/listening. I refuse to install that flaming piece of spyware-riddled bloatware on my computer.

No, not everything is crap. Maybe Real jukebox radio or such, but all the archived stories for NPR are only in Ram format ( which is really stupid since the live program stream lets you listen in several diff formats.) There has been other random stuff that I've wanted to listen to that has been in ram format too...
