fupeg writes "Spurred on by Apple's success, as well as their own purchase of listen.com, Real Networks announced their own online music service, dubbed RealOne Rhapsody. Here is the press release. They're offering songs at $0.79 per song, but with a $9.99/month subscription. The first two months are free. The press release says that 2/3 of their 300,000 song catalog is available for CD burning, while everything is available for 'on-demand' listening."

The annoyance of those popups to "Upgrade to Quicktime Pro!" is enough to lump Quicktime for Windows into the shitty category no matter how good the player is. Let's hope they don't put in the same popup to "Upgrade to iTunes Pro!".
