Please ignore my post. It doesnt' make no sense!

They went with Windows over Linux for security reasons? I see why there are no pictures with the article. No one could have said that with a straight face.  |

Gee, I would if I could!
RealPlayer music downloading in not offered in Canada (which is ironic, since downloading is legal in CA). I would jump in a heartbeat: the Real 192 encoding is far better than Apple's mediocre 128!

I am confused: how is it same price if Real is offering albums at half the price of Apple? I just checked and the albums are half price.

| I mean, the regular price to buy 14 songs online is roughly the price of an album in stores. I can just buy the album at the store, then I get the CD and I can rip and encode it at any speed I want. Screw these fansy schmansy proprietary codecs. Just give me mp3's at a high bitrate.

Ok, gotcha and I agree with you. I tend to rip most of my songs anyway. Nevertheless, have you tried the AAC format encoded at 192/48Khz? I must say I am impressed since it does sound a bit better than MP3 encoded at 192. IMHO, AAC has nicer imaging and a bit more realistic sound (but only at the higher bit rates). |

Re: RE: RealNetworks slashes song prices...
I believe it has to do with server issues, ip address and stuff like that. I DO have an american credit card account, but when you go to sign up, the site automatically identifies you as not being from the US and it then takes you to a "thank you, only US residents and its territories may sign up" screen.

Yeah, thought it had to do with IP address. But can't you just find a proxy server in America? |
