   This nearly proves my comment earlier on the "RealNetworks launches RealMusic" article. I still like the idea they have but price wise they are not there and now their stocks are dropping. Now all thats left for Microsoft to seal the deal on beating out RealNetworks is the pricing for their service. If its a better price then Microsoft just might beat out not just RealNetworks but maybe Itunes also? Just something to think about.

   HMM I always have enjoy Realplayer but the free versionIts good for the consumer because REAL Networks will have to come out with some new way of supporting its business which will be cheaper for the consumer

   I never really liked the Real Player App. Why pay for what Microsoft provides for free with a lot more content on the web to choose from. As far as Quality. I like QuickTime.
