#11.1 Posted by Galley on 18 Aug 2004 - 05:27
- Basically it allows you to transfer your purchased tracks to any device that supports DRM, whether it be AAC, WMA or RealAudio 10-based. The AAC conversion is lossless, but conversion to WMA is lossy.
This is straight from karl_lillevold, a RealNetworks Sr. Codec Engineer:
QUOTE As you know, the RealNetworks music store sells songs in 192 kbps AAC (as opposed to iTMS at 128 kbps). When transferring your purchased songs to the iPod, the AAC itself is not touched, but the Helix DRM is transmuxed to a DRM that is compatible with the iPod, i.e. fully protected and without trans-coding. If you then transfer the file back to your PC (for instance with Anapod), you get an M4P file, that is a protected MPEG-4 AAC file.

- 49c and $5 for albums? that's crazy! they even have a nice selection of artists, more complete than napster it seems
edit:
the streams are even nice quality, tho i wish they would let you listen to more of the song before cutting it off, but all of the other stores do that...

- C.R.A.P. it doesn't want to uninstall, eats up too much memory and is highly unusable. i would rather recommend j.river media center or apple itunes.

Not to mention, try finding the actual FREE REAL BASIC PLAYER on the site the manual way.

Volume slider still alters global system volume setting or not yet?

#22.1 Posted by bangbang023 on 18 Aug 2004 - 14:03
- So you either have a really crappy connection or don't know how to use a computer because I've NEVER had real player have to buffer on me.

#22.3 Posted by bangbang023 on 18 Aug 2004 - 18:42

- Why on gods green earth would you be installing real player on an enteprise server? And if this is not actually an enterprise server but just a pc class box running 2003 enterprise server, why on gods green earth are you using enterprise server on a pc...
Enterprise level server os's are not really designed to be media boxes. They do however run oracle or progress very well...

- Good for playing real files. Sucks that that it won't let you rip / download MP3s at better than 96Kbps . You've got to use the RealAudio, AAC, or Windows Media format to burn at a decent bit rate.
Make sure you go into Tools->Preferences and disable the Message Center crap that eats memory. Once you do that, it doesn't use any memory unless you launch the app.

#29 Posted by Wolvereen on 18 Aug 2004 - 19:45
- I'm using the corporate client instead. MUCH better, not as bloated or gimicky. I liek my software simple. If I want to play RM files, I want software that does jsut that. I don't need it to surf the web, or wash my car, or give me disertations on the overall impact that cow flatulance has on the global economy.

- Apple can be seen to be even more evil than Microsoft sometimes.Apple has an evil thing going with their ipod right now. They gotta smarten up and let others develop things for it.
Microsoft owns Windows, but they would be in legal turmoil if they decided to only allow them to develop for it. And don't think consumers would give a grab about a lack of programs. They'll be fine with Frontpage/word/ms-antivirus/IE/ etc and Microsoft would just buy out adobe so they can finish ruining the mac (buying bungie and virtual pc, and shutting down IE for mac)

Let's try the new improved DRM, that changes the arguement from 'free or pay' to 'who do we pay'.. hmm.
No.
But of Course, I agree everyone has a RIGHT to pay corporate bloodsuckers for music... if they choose to. Or eat live slugs. That's the spirit of freedom and democracy.

#37 Posted by nX07 on 22 Aug 2004 - 15:08
- I love realplayer not only for the simple GUI, the organization and searching system, but for the support for the Sony MD... sadly, I have to bare with it. Its great however on snowboarding trips as I have the MD-Z1 (the sport 1, metal casing
)
