However I am being prompted to download Real Player to listen to a certain radio station. How will having both affect anything? How will it affect my hundreds of CDs which I listen to through Real Player? I would prefer not to download the Real Player than to have anything happen to my music; and if I do download Real Player, will both of them take up too much space on my computer? I am very space conscious.

Having real player will not affect your computer. It will only help it. If you download songs from CDs and it promps you to use media player or real, just click media. In will not do anything to the music you have already saved in media player. You can add your songs from media player to real though. But be warrned! If you like burrning CDs, it probibaly won't work with real! It is something to do with copywrite infrigment.

Will it affect anything? Nope. Just make sure when you install it, you de select real player being your standard in mp3, etc. files. Will it affect the CD's? Nope. Space? Not that much, it is a simple program.
You should be fine downloading it

You can install both no problem. RealPlayer uses completely different media formats. The program installation size is quite small, particularly compaired to media format, but you got to be careful what you install. Like iTunes, RealPlayer always tries to add programs you don't really need. Also, don't let it load on startup or install into cache.

I run both RealPlayer and Windows media player on my computer with no ill effects. You will just need to pick which player will be the dominant player.
