Windows Media or Real Player?

[Faith]

Which one is better? I always used Real Player....purely cos my ex installed and set it up when I got my computer and have just used it ever since. But lately it's been crashing all the time so thought about changing to Windows Media Player...is it better?

I prefer Windows Media Player simply coz I can work it. I have Real Player but I cant use it.

I loathe Realplayer. Media player for me.

Apples and Oranges tbh.

Depends upon what I want to listen to or watch.
For listening to MP3's I usually use Winamp, simply because it uses less resources, and is quick to use. I have it set as the default for MP3's and audio files.

Windows Media Player. I dont' like the way it organises its playlists. I just find it doesn't seem as quick, logical, and easy as RealPlayer to use. I have it set to play video files though as it seems to do that very well.
I have DivX too for DivX files.

RealPlayer One. Funilly enough I'm using it to listen to MP3's at the moment. I like the way it works. I like the way it's laid out. I like the way the playlists work, and it's easy to manage your music, videos, etc with RP One. I did prefer Real Jukebox 2 for its ease of use, but RealPlayer One is almost as good. Jukebox 2 was a bit flaky, and used to crash a lot though. RealPlayer One is good for creating CD's from MP3's as well. But I don't like the nag box that pops up with RealPlayer. Plus it seems resource hungry, and slows down the computer when I'm doing a lot of things at once.
