letter to the Virtual Gramophone:

It is very unfortunate that whoever you contracted with to assemble the elements of your online presence chose "Real Player" as the application with which to deliver the actual music. "Real Player" is an intrusive and aggressively invasive application - faults which aren't cancelled out or balanced by its ability to actually play digital music.
"Real Player" artifically bottlenecks the progress of music-playing online, and by doing so, impedes more than it enables.
It is a miserly piece of work.

Thanks for your attention.
