Hi Marco:
Only use Real because the realplayer was the only player that worked
under Linux. Now Quicktime and others work. We also use Icecast, Shout,
XMMS and WinAmp. Would certainly bring you guys up on whatever you
wanted. I'm anxious to offer alternatives to Real.
What do you recommend?
I'm Installing Darwin QSS4 today. Darwin is opensource.
