Hi
Hmm, I don't get the finder busy problem at all, you did switch to
column view with command+3 right? Leaving it on icon view *always*
does this to me, but column view doesn't. Switching it on one folder
doesn't make it permanent, you might want to go into finder
preferences and check the "open new windows in column view" box--this
fixed that for me.
To make realplayer the default, highlight an mp3 file, bring up the
context menu, and select "always open with." Realplayer should be
listed in that menu, if it's not then choose the "other..." option
and browse to find the realplayer.app file in your applications
folder--note that some users seem to be having issues with this
particular dialog causing finder to be busy for a long time. I'm not
currently seeing this problem on my iBook, but it's something to
watch out for. Realplayer isn't really much better than iTunes,
though as far as accessibility goes and in fact iTunes seems to have
more keyboard shortcuts than Realplayer--either that, or realplayer
has a lot of hidden shortcut keys not listed in the menus.

I am happy to announce, that I am writing this email using my (new,
to me) dual g4 533, with 768 of ram. And I got to tell you, its
great!!!!! espeally compared compared to the g3 300 with 384 ram
that I was using.
Got to admit though, I'm still experiencing the issue of finder
being busy when trying to access a shared folder using samba on a
windows box. but I could access my g3 300 just fine with no problems.
Does anyone know how to get rid of itunes, or to deffinetly make
real player the referred playerr for all? cause I hate itunes.
