While RealPlayer is essential if you want to listen to BBC services, it's unlikely to be your general music player of choice. Some of its more intrusive aspects – a tendency to muck about with your settings while exercising hard-sell upgrade tactics – have been tamed. However, it has a clunky way of listing your music, forcing you to double-click your way around as if you were exploring folders. The only way to view cover art is by right-clicking on a file and going into its properties – something that seems archaic by today's standards.
