Re: bandwidth (and other support) required for multicast

[Ole J. Jacobsen]

According to the Real Web page:

Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me or Windows NT 4.0, MacOS

Yes, I know no Unix variants, but the above still covers a large portion
of IETF would-be participants. I am not suggesting that RealPlayer be
made the standard, just an option.

However..... it now appears that the Real people have a new business
model. The player is no longer free, but part of some stupid subscription
service which allows "Access to the audio broadcast of every Major League
Baseball game this season..." and all sorts of other nonsense that I
can do without. 

Sigh.

Any good shareware player for the Mac?
