It is so macabre it could be stacked up next to a handful of windigos, a pair of sasquatches, or even the Frankstein Monster itself and still be voted "Most Ugliest In Show". In fact, stick it next to the oil slick from Stephen King's "The Raft" and that slick would be like a supermodel compared to this bag of bones which should be locked like a firestarter in a dark tower and forced to experience insomnia.
Besides the encoding quality which offers no real advantages over others I have seen, the program seems to be a memory hog and definitely messes with your main volume controls. Why is this? I do not know. It is distasteful on every program I've tried it on. I used to think Version 1 (when it was called RealAudio Player) was gold back in the Netscape days, but rolling onwards from there, things just got more shameful as new competitors entered the fold. Ewww yucky! I'm sorry, "Real", I really tried to like you. Still tryin'!
