Alternatives to popular music/video programs

[Raptor]

Are there are [free] alternatives to the following programs available?

• Quicktime
  
• Realplayer
  
• WinAmp
  

If yes, where do I obtain them and how well do they function? I only need to be able to open files that use the extension normally reserved for use by that program, not any of the additional functions.

I think this will make me look really stupid, but I might have missed your question... Aren't all of those programs you have listed free? (Probably missed the question... lol )

These programs are indeed free, but I know there are alternatives available that will play these extension. I do not like to have Quicktime on my system installed as it is too dominant. Realplayer is considered spyware and I am not very fond of WinAmp.

I once came across a website that had alternatives to both Quicktime and Realplayer, but I seem to have misplaced the bookmark or lost it.

Heres' a replacement for the realplayer virus.

I haven't used this one so I can't comment on it.

Both programs work like a charm. Thank you.

Would you happen to know a good alternative to WinAmp as well? Or a .MPC to .MP3 converter.

Again I have no idea if this is any good.
