alternatives to Real Player

Does anyone know any media programs that will play Real Player streaming audio? I want to be able to listen to my local radio station while I'm away from home, but i freeking hate Real Player because it comes with annoying crap and is always bugging you to upgrade.

I'd rather use a third party program that is bare bones.

Any ideas?

TIA

Hello,

I'd recommend Winamp Lite at www.winamp.com
There is a plugin available here.

Once you install Winamp, go to options>Preferences>Setup>Agent and disable winamp agent.

A couple of years ago, there was a program called "StreamBox Ripper" (I think). It would convert Real audio and video into standard audio and video files. Don't know if it is still around.
