My music player spends its life on random play so the subject is quite important to my listening pleasure. When hard disk players first came out I bought the Sony Walkman and after some time I found that it played many of the same tracks again. After contacting Sony and getting no joy I decided to t...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripping United Kingdom In the United Kingdom, making a private copy of copyrighted media without the copyright owner's consent is currently illegal,[4][5] but the UK government's new Digital Economy Act is likely to make copying of CDs for personal use legal.[6] Accordi...

That really and entirely depends on the laws in your country. Where are you located? I’m in the UK so there should be no problem as bankers and government ministers are allowed to steal millions. That said the way things are these days ripping your own disk is probably a big no no whereas lying and...

Thanks, I can understand it being illegal if you are uploading them, selling or passing them around but surely I should be able to rip my own disks so I can view them as I want. To do it was a major problem as many programs can rip a disk but they can’t separate the tracks into individual files. I d...

I have about 40 music dvd’s which I purchased, what I wanted to do was rip them to disk and then I could have a 400+ track random playlist. I did manage to do it but I kind of got the feeling it wasn’t legal even though I had bought the disks, so naturally I had to download a program which wasn’t qu...

sounds to me your system disk is quite full then. What you want to do in the first place is stop as much programs as possible, then move the files, then uninstall realplayer. You could start the move action before going to sleep and click on the Move button the next morning. It’s funny how conversa...

I do not know if that would be the case, but I'd move them to another place to make sure they stay after uninstalling. Are you sure those are actual videos or just links to the online content? They are actual videos and have been downloading them for a couple of years so have quite a few. I wish I ...

I have got my VLC player working pretty well and am just about to uninstall realplayer, will the uninstall delete the utube videos I have downloaded and saved in my realplayer folder? I have searched but there seems to be a lot of confusion about the realplayer uninstall function so any help here wo...

Thanks very much for taking the time to answer.

Probably seems like a very stupid question but for some reason I am under the impression that utube uses realplayer.
If I get rid of realplayer will I still be able to watch utube videos?

Hi all, I am running Windows 7 and the video quality is extremely poor, have searched on the net for solutions but found nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated as I want to get rid of that realplayer in a hurry.
