The most widely
used streaming audio/video software today is RealPlayer from RealNetworks. Its main competitor is Microsoft's Media Player.
Both packages are available free and can be downloaded by clicking on the
links below. In addition to a free version, RealNetworks also offers a more sophisticated
package that can be purchased at a nominal charge.
We recommend that
you download and install both RealPlayer and Media Player.
Because streaming media technology is improving so rapidly, we also suggest
that you ensure that the version of the streaming media software you are
using is the most current. Software updates can be download free and easily installed
by following the simple instructions provided by the two vendors.
