No, no no. Real Audio is the Work of Stan, a thoroughly obnoxious
intrusive product that weasels its way into all parts of your PC,
pesters you forevermore with messages about buying the upgraded product
and whose removal requires an effort comparable to eliminating
cockroaches from a heavily infested tropical hotel. I would rather set
fire to my PC than tolerate another outbreak of it.

All praise then to the good people who also see it like that, but who
unlike me also know how to write applications, and have created Real
Alternative. Does the job, gives no aggro.

RealMedia (or so they claim) have finally listened to all the
criticism and RealAudio v10 isn't too bad in this regard. The
installer tries to get you to sign up for "news updates", but
opting out seems to be respected. The free version available
via the BBC website is the one to go for, as it doesn't nag
you to upgrade:

Thanks John. I've already listened to all the shows up to 18/04/05,
having read about it in the CTC newsletter a couple of weeks ago, but
last time I looked there were no more shows available online. Now there
are 4 more for me to listen to.

BTW, can anyone identify the "I Hate Cars" song that features in some of
the shows, for example at the beginning of the 25/04/05 show?

Not as such, but I know the Buzzcocks did "I hate fast cars"

I wondered:

>>of the shows, for example at the beginning of the 25/04/05 show?

Thanks Mike. I e-mailed the show's presenter, the track is called
"Cars" by The Desperate Bicycles.
