VLC is great, low overhead, and can play basically anything you throw at it including Real Audio files.

I'm on my phone right now, so it is difficult to browse.
By "low overhead", do you mean that it is something that you must buy, but that the price is low?

Thank you so much for your response.
VLC is free. I assume that low overhead refers to ram and processor usage.

+1 for VLC super easy to use and it allows you to read many files (Like FLAC audio)

PS. Checked the website you linked above and it works in no problems.

For Mac users: IINA video player played the .ra sample files I downloaded. It has always played anything I've thrown at it, even things that would choke VLC.
