I'd be surprised to learn that anyone still uses either
of those. I thought usage had dropped to nearly zero
about 10-12 years ago.

Wow, you've heard wrong, in at least Realplayer's case. Especially since
Realplayer SP which can grab/save several online formats and convert them to
a choice of several different formats and even burn them to DVD or CD. Apple
I can't speak for; had to use it at work, never used it at home and know
nothing about them.

HTH,

Are you talking about iTunes? If so then yes iTunes works on Windows 8
just fine.

Could be referring to QuickTime Player (for .moov files or equivalent).
Although I haven't seen any web site recently, that offered that as
an streaming option. I suppose you could find test files on the
Apple QuickTime page

The base player is free. The "pro" version you pay extra for, and it
might offer the ability to do a bit of transcoding ("QuickTime 7 Pro can
convert your media to different formats, so you can watch a movie or video
on your iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV"). In any case, on a PC, all this
does is try to screw around with file associations. When presented with
any file association menus, just don't let Qt have any of them That
way, you can use the player when you need it, and otherwise, it won't
be popping up.

Try VLC Media Player. It's free and GPL.

I've been using it for years and like it very much.

It's not crippled by something left out of W8?
