any program that connects to an online server unnecessarily pisses me off

here, let me tel..<<buffering 10%>>...

any program that tries to take over every type of file on my machine (by default) and then doesn't allow me to do a 'deselect all' is a pos. why should i have to uncheck 35 file types to run a freakin' .rm file.

Bloated piece of crap.

spyware, adware, annoying popups, any other format looks better, startcenter, uses too muh screen space.

the software was programmed to say it's "user error" when you don't have it installed. i don't support software like that.

i'm all for real alternative and quicktime alternative.

real alt but when you stream anything from a slow server it'll buffer. it doesn't matter what media player you use.

I used it when it first came out, and it sucked pretty badly. That was before broadband was available to the masses. I stayed away from it for years after that, but finally gave it a chance again to listen to talk radio at work, and it does the job alright. I wouldn't pick it over anything else though.
