RealPlayer
Early internet audio
RealPlayer is media player software that was widely used in the late 1990s and early 2000s for streaming audio and video over the internet.
It pioneered online streaming but became notorious for aggressive installation practices and intrusive updates.
The associated RealAudio and RealVideo formats were once common but have largely been replaced by other standards.
