This is one tight race

 

[Poodlestrike]

I saw this website the other day that required Quicktime to function.

RealPlayer seems modern by comparison.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Still use Winamp. Have it open right now.

 

[MrCunningham]

They were the two apps needed to view videos in web browsers before Flash became popular. Hated QuickTime on Windows.

Remember when Macromedia Shockwave was a thing?

 

[GravityMan]

Wow, RealPlayer. That's a name I haven't heard in years.

 

[Vic]

Remember when Macromedia Shockwave was a thing?

 

[MUnited83]

I was expecting this to be a bump from a 2005 thread lol

 

[quesalupa]

Remember when Macromedia Shockwave was a thing?

Lol one of my classes last semester required both Quicktime and Shockwave.

 

[womfalcs3]

Haha. I was just thinking to myself the other day if anybody was still using RealPlayer.

 

[HabeeNo]

Media Player Classic is the true answer

 

[Tyrant Rave]

remember custom winamp skins

 

[jambo]

We need to go further

 

[hateradio]

A+ gif use

Not quite.

He says, "Everyone!" not everything.

Woah, there's a lol101? I thought it was just lol1 to lol10.

Winamp or Foobar are the only media players I'll ever consider

Don't need no boring ass minimalist, flat designed UI

With - Does anybody know what are the advantages of Foobar over Winamp? I know it's good, but I don't see a reason to switch over

Foobar can play a lot of formats and can handle huge libraries of albums very well.

Other than that, it's not the nicest thing to look at unless you decide to use an older version. Those old versions were "hacked" so that a plugin could be used to develop nice looking GUIs, but the dev was against it.

 

[supernormal]

How do you guys not use RealPlayer. They actually have really great tools for streaming, and it's actually pretty decent now.

Spoiler

RealPlayer lol

 

[CREMSteve]

I have a stepdad who uses yahoo messenger and every toobar in existence with ie10 at the time.

Somehow I got blamed for his viruses because I downloaded 7zip (which was supposed to be for his benefit so he wouldn't have to pirate winzip).

Your stepdad and my father in law would be great friends, lol. His computer is so slow, no matter how often I clean it up, he downloads new shit as soon as I leave. Toolbars, pop ups, error messages left and right. Then whenever he sees me, all he wants me to do is fix his computer again.

I hate it with a passion, because the system is so slow, trying to fix it takes EONS. I'd rather pull my fingernails with rusty pliers at this point.

 

[Drazgul]

MPC-HC is the only real answer. VLC is for chumps.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

RealPlayer is still a thing? Holy shit.

Yeah, had a prof give out music samples for a classical music survey course in 2012 that still required us to use RMP. I think it has something to do with the DRM and how it's pretty entrenched in some of the bigger academic resources? Still annoying as shit.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

I use BonzaiBuddy!

It does everything I need! It's always there, ready to help! You can't even accidentally delete it!

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

 

[Shard]

next he will ask you to use Winamp

At least Winamp is or was still good, this is like asking to download a voodoo curse.

 

[MrCunningham]

remember custom winamp skins

Some of them were pretty creative.

 

[Suikoguy]

Volume Logic died, so I still use Winamp for music, the post solution Breakaway works on the whole computer, and I prefer just using it for music.

 

[Syphon Filter]

you took it back. Remember jukebox? winamp all day.

 

[epmode]

I still use Winamp too. *fistbump*

 

[RevoDS]

Holy necrobu...oh.

 

[super-famicom]

Realplayer? I'd rather not take the class than install that into my PC. Can it even run on Win7/8/10 or OSX?

 

[Syphon Filter]

Realplayer? I'd rather not take the class than install that into my PC. Can it even run on Win7/8/10 or OSX?

most likely, aol 6.0 still works.

 

[Stuggernaut]

I seriously though some Junior just bumped an ancient thread ... came in to see the mockery.

 

[hsin]

Welcome to 2001 holy

 

[super-famicom]

most likely, aol 6.0 still works.

Does AOL still send out CDs of their client anymore? I feel like they do, in some part of the world. I remember formatting their floppy disks for storing my own files on them a loooong time ago.

Edit- nice title change

 

[jambo]

I use BonzaiBuddy!

[megarockexe]

We need to go further

Don't worry, there's a whole website dedicated to this forgotten past.

[hsin]

We need to go further

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[dabig2]

I still use Winamp too. *fistbump*

Yo dude, I heard they have porn on the channels. PORN! You don't even have to pay or anything!

 

[Yeef]

I also still use Winamp.

And I probably always will.

 

[malfcn]

When did hell.com expire?

 

[etrain911]

What year did you sign up for this religion class in?


Also, VLC player is great and I love it.

 

[Branduil]

I bet OP still has a shortcut for Napster on his desktop.

 

[Toa TAK]

Ha. I put Media Classic in the lead, fools.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I bet OP still has a shortcut for Napster on his desktop.

Come now, the OP did not want to use Real Player.

 

[Alebrije]

This could help OP

 

[Shard]

Eight, so after this I shall head over to Zombo.com

 

[andrerobot]

pshaw.

or bust!

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

Potplayer.

That is all.

And if you're trying to burn stuff, Anyburn.

 

[Team Filler]

I'm not sure if MusicBee does what realplayer does, but it damn near seems to do everything I need it to do, so maybe check that out.

Spoiler

Also winamp, because

 

[revolverjgw]

I've been using Winamp since probably 1998, never saw a compelling reason to change it up. I look forward to hearing "it really whips the llama's ass!" every time I install it on a fresh Windows (with OG skin of course). It's like coming home.

 

[Exile20]

pshaw.

or bust!

My goodness.

So many things I just stopped using and never realized when. It just happens.

I am getting so old, now I am depressed.

 

[a secret-boss]

brings back memories lol
listening to live radio show from different parts of the world

 

[GregLombardi]

I still use winamp, but this thread is hilarious.

 

[Red Devil]

I'm in a religion class this semester online and the professor asks us to download realplayer to view the weekly lectures. The problem is I hate realplayer and I have downloaded and installed it the past couple days and I have not been able to get it to work with the lecture. It has been saying some shit like "Connection to server cannot be established" it is pissing me off.

I want to know if there is any way to get this shit working, or if I can download some other video player that can work for this damn lecture that I can watch it with.

Sorry OP, I read the bolded part and started laughing.

We need to go further
